Impact of Darcy-Forchheimer for the flow analysis of radiated tangent hyperbolic fluid with viscous dissipation and activation energy

Abstract

In the present analysis, tangent hyperbolic fluid is assumed to be flowing over a stretching cylinder. The thermophysical characteristics of fluids are assumed to be variable. The thermal and solutal rates are investigated by using viscous dissipation, activation energy, and thermal radiation. The governing equations occur in the form of partial differential equations, and then these equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformations. Then, by using the BVP4C method, we obtain the numerical solution to the equations. The impacts of the involved parameters, such as Prandtl, Weissenberg, Schmidt, Eckert number, viscosity coefficient, and thermal radiation parameters, are presented through the graphs. The velocity profile decreases due to the power law index, Weissenberg number, and temperature-dependent viscosity. However, it increases due to the Darcy-Forchheimer number and curvature parameter. The temperature distribution rises with the Eckert number, curvature parameter, and radiation parameter. On the other hand, it declined for the Prandtl number and power law index. Similarly, the concentration profile increases for the activation energy, reaction rate, and temperature difference parameter, but it decreases for the curvature parameter and Schmidt number.
