This article is concerned with the nanofluid flow in a rotating frame under the simultaneous effects of thermal slip and convective boundary conditions. Arrhenius activation energy is another important aspect of the present study. Flow phenomena solely rely on the Darcy–Forchheimer-type porous medium in three-dimensional space to tackle the symmetric behavior of viscous terms. The stretching sheet is assumed to drive the fluid. Buongiorno’s model is adopted to see the features of Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis on the basis of symmetry fundamentals. Governing equations are modeled and transformed into ordinary differential equations by suitable transformations. Solutions are obtained through the numerical RK45-scheme, reporting the important findings graphically. The outputs indicate that larger values of stretching reduce the fluid velocity. Both the axial and transverse velocity fields undergo much decline due to strong retardation produced by the Forchheimer number. The thermal radiation parameter greatly raises the thermal state of the field. The temperature field rises for a stronger reaction within the fluid flow, however reducing for an intensive quantity of activation energy. A declination in the concentration profile is noticed for stronger thermophoresis. The Forchheimer number and porosity factors result in the enhancement of the skin friction, while both slip parameters result in a decline of skin friction. The thermal slip factor results in decreasing both the heat and mass flux rates. The study is important in various industrial applications of nanofluids including the electro-chemical industry, the polymer industry, geophysical setups, geothermal setups, catalytic reactors, and many others.

We investigate the effects of thermal radiation and convective boundary conditions on heat and mass transfer in nanofluid flow over a permeable flat plate. The mathematical model for the nanofluid incorporates variations in the nanoparticle volume fraction of up to 20%. The performance of two water-based nanofluids, namely, stable suspensions of copper and gold nanoparticles in water was investigated. The governing partial differential equations were transformed into ordinary ones using a similarity transformation and solved numerically. The numerical results were validated by comparison with previously published results in the literature. The main focus of this paper is to study the fluid and surface parameters such as the radiation parameter, and suction/injection parameter, solute concentration profiles, as well as the skin friction coefficient and heat and mass transfer rates were conducted.

PurposeThe purpose of this article is to analyze the heat and mass transfer with entropy generation during magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) flow of non-Newtonian Sisko nanofluid over a linearly stretching cylinder under the influence of velocity slip, chemical reaction and thermal radiation. The Brownian motion, thermophoresis and activation energy are assimilated in this nanofluid model. Convective boundary conditions on heat and mass transfer are considered. The physical model may have diverse applications in several areas of technology underlying thermohydrodynamics including supercritical fluid extraction, refrigeration, ink-jet printing and so on.Design/methodology/approachThe dimensional governing equations are nondimensionalized by using appropriate similarity variables. The resulting boundary value problem is converted into initial value problem using the method of superposition and numerically computed by employing well-known fourth-order Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg approach along with shooting technique (RKF4SM). The quantitative impacts of emerging physical parameters on the velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number, Sherwood number, entropy generation rate and Bejan number are presented graphically and in tabular form, and the salient features are comprehensively discussed.FindingsFrom graphical outcomes, it is concluded that the slip parameters greatly influence the flow characteristics. Fluid temperature is elevated with rising radiation parameter and thermal Biot number. Nanoparticle concentration is reported in decreasing form with activation energy parameter. Entropy is found to be an increasing function of magnetic field, Brownian motion and material parameters. The entropy is less generated for shear-thinning fluid compared to shear-thickening as well as Newtonian fluids in the system.Originality/valueTill now no study has been documented to explore the impact of binary chemical reaction with Arrhenius activation energy on entropy generation in an MHD boundary layer flow of non-Newtonian Sisko nanofluid over a linear stretching cylinder with velocity slip and convective boundary conditions.
