Abstract

This article examines homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions and internal heat generation in Darcy-Forchheimer flow of nanofluids with different base fluids. Flow is generated due to a nonlinear stretchable surface of variable thickness. The characteristics of nanofluid are explored using CNTs (single and multi walled carbon nanotubes). Equal diffusion coefficients are considered for both reactants and auto catalyst. The conversion of partial differential equations (PDEs) to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is done via appropriate transformations. Optimal homotopy approach is implemented for solutions development of governing problems. Averaged square residual errors are computed. The optimal solution expressions of velocity, temperature and concentration are explored through plots by using several values of physical parameters. Further the coefficient of skin friction and local Nusselt number are examined through graphs.
