This paper discusses the three-dimensional flow of permeable nanofluid through a convectively heated porous extending surface under the influences of the magnetic field and nonlinear radiation. Numerical simulations show the impact of dimensionless parameters on velocity, temperature, and nanoparticle volume fraction profiles. Discussions and presentations of nanofluid flow, heat transfer coefficients, and various numbers under different parameters are provided in graphs and tables.
This paper discusses the Darcy-Forchheimer three dimensional (3D) flow of a permeable nanofluid through a convectively heated porous extending surface under the influences of the magnetic field and nonlinear radiation. The higher-order chemical reactions with activation energy and heat source (sink) impacts are considered. We integrate the nanofluid model by using Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis. To convert PDEs (partial differential equations) into non-linear ODEs (ordinary differential equations), an effective, self-similar transformation is used. With the fourth-fifth order Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg (RKF45) approach using the shooting technique, the consequent differential system set is numerically solved. The influence of dimensionless parameters on velocity, temperature, and nanoparticle volume fraction profiles is revealed via graphs. Results of nanofluid flow and heat as well as the convective heat transport coefficient, drag force coefficient, and Nusselt and Sherwood numbers under the impact of the studied parameters are discussed and presented through graphs and tables. Numerical simulations show that the increment in activation energy and the order of the chemical reaction boosts the concentration, and the reverse happens with thermal radiation. Applications of such attractive nanofluids include plastic and rubber sheet production, oil production, metalworking processes such as hot rolling, water in reservoirs, melt spinning as a metal forming technique, elastic polymer substances, heat exchangers, emollient production, paints, catalytic reactors, and glass fiber production.
