AbstractIn this article, we investigate the effects of Arrhenius activation energy with binary chemical reaction and convective boundary condition on natural convective flow over vertical frustum of a cone in a Buongiorno nanofluid under the presence of thermal radiation. The zero nanoparticle flux condition is used at the surface of frustum of a cone rather than the uniform wall condition to execute physically applicable results. For this complex flow model, a suitable non-similarity transformations are used initially and then Bivariate pseudo-spectral local linearisation method is used to solve the non-similar, coupled partial differential equations. Further, the convergence test and error analysis are conducted to verify the accuracy of numerical method. The effects of flow influenced parameters on the non-dimensional velocity, temperature, nanoparticle volume fraction and regular concentration profiles as well as on the skin friction, heat transfer rate, nanoparticle and regular mass transfer rates are analyzed.

Abstract Our intention in this article is to investigate entropy optimization in nonlinear mixed convective unsteady magnetohydrodynamic flow of nanomaterials in porous space. An exponentially stretched sheet creates the liquid flow. Nanomaterial is considered electrically conducting. The concentration and energy expressions comprise viscous dissipation, Joule heating, thermophoresis and Brownian motion aspects. Arrhenius activation energy is considered. Computation of entropy generation based upon the second law of thermodynamics is made. Nonlinear partial expressions are obtained via suitable dimensionless variables. Resultant expressions are tackled by the OHAM technique. Features of numerous variables on entropy, temperature, velocity and concentration are graphically visualized. Skin friction and the temperature gradient at the surface are also elaborated. Comparative analysis is deliberated in tabulated form to validate the previously published outcomes. Velocity is reduced significantly via the suction parameter. The entropy rate increases for higher values of Brinkman, Biot and Hartmann numbers.

The computational investigations on mixed convection stagnation point flow of Jeffrey nanofluid over a stretched surface is presented herein. The sheet is placed vertical over which nanomaterials flowing upward direction. Arrhenius activation energy and binary chemical reaction are accounted. Non-linear radiative heat flux, MHD, viscous dissipation, heat source/sink, and Joule heating are considered. Initially the non-linear flow expressions are converted to ordinary one and then tackled for series solutions by homotopy analysis method. Consider flow problem are discussed for velocity, temperature and concentration through various flow variables. Furthermore, skin friction coefficient, Sherwood number, and heat transfer rate are computed graphically.
