MHD heat and mass transport of Maxwell Arrhenius kinetic nanofluid flow over stretching surface with nonlinear variable properties

Abstract

The study of nonlinear radiation and mixed convection of the MHD heat and mass transfer of Maxwell nanoliquid flow in porous media with Arrhenius kinetic reaction is examined. The non-Newtonian fluid is characterized by Maxwell model, and the species molecular mixture is inspired by the Arrhenius pre-exponential kinetics. Reaction mixture occurs in a boundless slippery plate subject to a considerable quantity of tension that can prevent material deformity. With appropriate similarity variables, the flow model reduces to quasilinear coupled system of derivatives. A numerical simulation of the flow characteristics is carried out, and the results presented in tables and graphs for various thermodynamic phenomena. The results show that the flow momentum is damped by the material term, but augmented by nonlinear heat convection and radiation. The heat transfer rate is significantly propelled by temperature ratio and viscous heating, while the Lewis number, molecular Brownian motion and the chemical reaction term encourage species mass transfer. As such, the study involving activation energy plays a critical part in the diffusion of binary chemical mixtures of energy and species transport which will assist the chemical engineering and others in their activities to prevent reaction blowup.
