Darcy-Forchheimer 3D Flow of Glycerin-Based Carbon Nanotubes on a Riga Plate with Nonlinear Thermal Radiation and Cattaneo-Christov Heat Flux

The current investigation deliberates the consequence of the glycerin-based carbon nanotubes with velocity slip in Darcy-Forchheimer porous medium on a convectively heated Riga plate. The Fourier heat flux theory was replaced by the Cattaneo-Christov theory. Moreover, nonlinear facets of radiation are also included in the energy expression, and this creates the energy expression which becomes highly nonlinear. The governing flow problems are altered into an ODE model with the help of suitable variables. The reduced models are solved numerically by applying MATLAB bvp4c theory and analytically by HAM idea. The impact of diverse physical parameters on velocity, temperature, skin friction coefficients, local Nusselt number, entropy generation, and Bejan number are scrutinized through tables and graphs. It is seen that both directions of fluid motion elevate when raising the modified Hartmann number, and it diminishes when escalating the quantity of the Forchheimer number and porosity parameter. The fluid warmth grows when the higher magnitude of the Biot number and heat generation/consumption parameter, and it downturns when enriching the thermal relaxation time parameter. The entropy generation slumps when heightening the slip parameter, whereas it improves when rising the radiation parameter. The Bejan number upturns when upgrading the Biot number and heat generation/consumption parameter.
