Chemically Reacting Unsteady Flow of Nanofluid over a Cone and Plate with Activation Energy

Article Preview

Abstract:

This computational analysis explores the properties of uneven energy gain or loss on the fluid transport properties of a chemically reacting nanofluid with two types of geometries. 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, thermophoretic diffusivity, activation energy and Schmidt number is 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 activation energy parameter is having high influence on mass transfer mechanism.
