Thompson and Troian slip effect on ternary nanofluid flow over a stretching surface influenced by induced magnetic field and surface catalyzed reaction

Abstract

This research scrutinizes the impact of the Thompson and Troian slip effect on a two-dimensional flow of ternary nanoliquid induced by an extending sheet near a stagnation point. Nanoparticles Iron oxide (Fe2O3), Nickle Zinc ferrite (NiZnFe2O4), and Magnesium zinc iron oxide (MnZnFe2O4) are dispersed in Ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) to establish ternary nanofluid. The induced magnetic field influences the flow, and the analysis of heat and mass transfers takes into account the Cattaneo–Christov (C–C) heat flux with homogenous–heterogeneous (H–H) reactions, respectively. To expedite the reaction, a surface-catalyzed process is introduced to efficiently control both (H–H) reactions within a reduced time frame. Utilizing the Tiwari and Das framework, the fluid flow characteristics are elucidated. Appropriate transformations are applied to derive ordinary differential equations (ODEs), which are then numerically deciphered via the bvp4c scheme. Graphs are portrayed to highlight the consequence of non-dimension quantities on the flow and temperature profiles. The surface drag coefficient and heat flux rate are also assessed and summarized. Outcomes revealed that for large estimates of the velocity slip parameter, the surface drag coefficient is enhanced while the heat flux rate is reduced. It is also interesting to note that because of the high estimations of ferromagnetic nanoparticles, the rate of heat transfer is elevated significantly. The validation of the proposed model is also included.
