Abstract

The effective applications of Casson fluid in drilling processes, biological treatments, food processing, and bio-engineering activities have caught the interest of a wide range of researchers. The suitable knowledge of heat transfer via non-Newtonian fluid is essential for the achievement of best quality products in industry. Thus, the three-dimensional Casson nanofluid flow over a stretching sheet with Arrhenius activation energy and exponential heat source effects is investigated in this paper using a computational process based on iterative power series (IPS) method. To provide useful insights into the physical and dynamic examinations of this topic, convective heat and convective mass boundary conditions are used. The developed model of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) has been transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using similarity transformations. The numerical solution of the transformed ODEs is obtained by employing the IPS technique combined with shooting iteration approach. The results of this study are validated with the previous studies, and excellent agreements have been obtained. The behavior of various capable physical parameters is analyzed. It is observed that the thermal and concentration fields show an enhancement with respect to the exponential heat source parameter and thermal and concentration Biot numbers. Further, the Arrhenius activation energy parameter has shown a significant effect on the concentration field.

Summary

Introduction

A better understanding of engineering and industrial technology difficulties requires taking into account the boundary layer phenomenon of non-Newtonian liquids with heat transport. Freidoonimehr and Rahimi [12] studied the Brownian motion effect on the heat transfer of a 3D nanofluid flow past a stretched sheet with velocity slip. Activation energy investigations of a nano Casson fluid flow were carried out by Gireesha et al [17] with an exponential spatial source of thermal energy and a binary chemical reaction. Based on the detailed literature survey, no study has investigated the 3D convective Casson nanofluid flow with Arrhenius activation energy and exponential heat source effects past a stretching sheet. (ii) A notable shooting procedure and IPS method are employed to examine the influence of numerous parameters (magnetic, exponential heat source, and Arrhenius activation energy) on velocity, energy, and concentration profiles.
