This computational study explores the properties of non-uniform heat source/sink on the fluid transport properties of a chemically reacting nanofluid with two types of geometries saturated with porous medium. Simulations have been done to investigate the heat and mass transfer characteristics using Crank-Nicolson scheme. Influence of active parameters such as Hartman number, heat source and sinks, Brownian diffusion, higher order chemical reaction, Prandtl number and thermophoretic diffusivity are graphically presented. Tables demonstrate the significant impact of sundry parameters on skin-friction factor, heat and mass transfer rates. The achieved results expose that the heat source/sink parameter has high influences on the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics. A decrease in average skin friction factor due to the magnetic field is more significant in the flow on a plate than that of cone.

Introduction: Convective heat and mass transfer in nanofluids is a topic of major contemporary interest in both science and technology. In view of this, an unsteady MHD free convective flow of nanofluids through a porous medium bound by a moving vertical semi-infinite permeable flat plate with a constant heat source and convective boundary condition in a rotating frame of reference is studied theoretically. Experimental: The novelty is the consideration of constant heat source and convective boundary condition in a rotating frame. The velocity along the plate i.e., slip velocity is assumed to oscillate in time with constant frequency so that the solutions of the boundary layer are of the same oscillatory type. The dimensionless governing equations for this investigation are solved analytically using small perturbation approximation. Two types of nanofluids, namely Cu-water and Al2O3-water are used. Results: The effects of various parameters on the flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics are discussed through graphs and tables. Conclusion: An increase in the convective parameter and nanoparticle volume fraction leads to increase the thermal boundary layer thickness but opposite effect occurs for heat generation.
