Numerical Analysis of unsteady Non-linear mixed convection flow of Reiner-Philippoff nanofluid along Falkner-Skan wedge with new mass flux condition

Abstract

The main goal of this research focuses on the theoretical examination of the melting and nonlinear mixed convection mechanisms in unsteady Falkner-Skan wedge flow of Reiner-Philippoff nanofluid with nonlinear thermally radiative, nanoparticle mass flux condition, uniform heat source/sink, chemically reactive, and Arrhenius activation energy effects are considered. The nanoparticle concept includes thermophoretic and Brownian motion. Arrhenius activation energy idea is adopted in the concentricity equation. Appropriate transformations are employed to obtain non-linear ordinary differential equations. The outcoming non-linear (ODEs) are then computationally implemented through R-K 4th order approach based on shooting method. We investigate and discuss the impacts of various physical parameters on thermal, velocity, solutal, skin friction, heat transport, and streamlines field. A comparative examination is presented between the present findings and available date and displayed to be in excellent agreement. Velocity field diminished against escalating valuations of concentration buoyancy and wedge angle parameters, respectively. Concentricity field has opposite trend for augmenting thermophoretic and non-linear solutal convection parameters, respectively.
