Influence of Thermal Radiation on MHD Casson Nanofluid Flow over a Non-Linear Stretching Sheet with the Presence of Chemical Reaction
Abstract
The focus of this research is to examine how the Casson and chemical reaction parameter impact the variable radiative flow of MHD Nanofluid across a stretching sheet. Through the use of similarity functions, the modelling equations (PDEs) of the motion of fluid are transformed into simple differential equations. The MATLAB tool is adopted to compute the equations numerically. Graphs and descriptions have been provided for velocity, concentration, and temperature outlines, showing the effects of important fluid flow constraints. Different factors are analysed to provide data and explanations for Prandtl, Lewis numbers, slip and chemical decomposition parameters. The current results are in good in good align with existed reports. The viscosity of the fluid and thermal boundary stratum decreases as enhancing of Casson, Magnetic parameter & Prandtl number. Skin friction increasing as enhancing of suction, stretching, magnetic and Casson parameter while decreasing as enhancing of velocity slip quantity. Rate of heat transmission enhancing as increment of thermal radiation and surface temperature while decreasing as enhancing chemical reaction and thermal slip quantities. Rate of mass transfer raising as enhancing of chemical reaction, thermal slip, thermal radiation while decreasing as enhancing of surface temperature parameter.
