Significance Of Stefan Blowing And Convective Heat Transfer In Nanofluid Flow Over A Curved Stretching Sheet With Chemical Reaction

The applications of fluid flow with Newtonian heating effect include conjugate heat conveyance around fins, petroleum industry, and heat exchangers designing. Motivated from these applications, an attempt has been made to analyze the stream of viscous nanomaterial subjected to a curved stretching sheet. Also, heat and mass transport mechanism due to a chemical reaction, Brownian and thermophoresis motion are discussed. The equations of the mathematical model are formulated by considering the Newtonian heating and Stefan blowing conditions at the boundary. These modelled equations are then changed to a system of nonlinear equation involving ordinary derivatives of a function by means of suitable similarity transformations. Further, shooting technique with Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg-45 process is utilized to solve the reduced equations. Outcomes disclose that, the gain in Stefan blowing parameter escalates the liquid velocity. The intensification in chemical reaction rate parameter deteriorates the concentration gradient. The rise in Schmidt number and thermophoresis parameter drops the mass transfer rate. The increased values of Newtonian heating parameter with respect to thermophoresis parameter decays the heat transport rate.
