Abstract
This research article is aimed to investigate the behavior of 3D flow of nanofluid comprising of copper and aluminium oxide nanoparticles i.e. the importance of the solid particle to increase the thermal conductivity of nanofluid. The results confirm a high uptake of Cu-water nanofluid and Al 2 O 3 -water nanofluid compared to no, or low, uptake of the soluble nanomaterial. This article addresses incompressible viscous Cu-water and Al 2 O 3 -water nanofluid flow along a stretching cylinder. Influence of homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions are examined for the nanofluid. An encounter of entropy generation is also taken into account. The entire phenomena is considered for water as base fluid comprising nanoparticles (Copper and Aluminium Oxide). The equations obtained concerning the flow are being transformed using suitable transformations. The results are being evaluated numerically for the obtained equations. Graphical behavior of velocity, temperature, concentration and entropy generation is analyzed to perceive effect of diverse parameters. It is found that the larger values of curvature parameter and nanoparticle volume fraction enhances the velocity profile while the temperature profile decreases. The concentration at the surface decrease with the strength of the heterogeneous reaction parameter while show opposite trend for homogeneous reaction and Schmidt number. Entropy generation shows an enhancing trend for the curvature parameter, Eckert and Prandtl number while contradictory trend for temperature difference ratio parameter. Skin friction and Nusselt number are being examined through numerical values obtained.
