Thermodynamic properties of second grade nanofluid flow with radiation and chemical reaction over slendering stretching sheet

The three-dimensional flow of non-Newtonian fluid over slendering stretching sheet is taken into account. The effects of a radiative and chemical reaction using the heat source/sink non uniformly considered in the present model. The Buongiorno model is applied to the fluid flow region. The heat and mass transfer phenomena have been applied to analyze the influence of heat generation. The governing model has been developed using the flow assumptions such as boundary layer approximations in terms of partial differential equations. The differential equations become dimensionless after implementing the transformations. The dimensionless system is further solved through a numerical scheme using the Matlab Software packages. The results of physical factors are deliberated through graphs as well as tables. The temperature curves improved due to higher values of heat generation. The heat generation improved due to the kinetic energy increase as well as the movement of particles enhanced due to the temperature increase. Curves of the temperature improved due to higher values of radiation. When the radiation falls on the fluid surface, it improved the temperature of the liquid because hot particles strike the cool particles of fluid which improved the temperature of the liquid.(c) 2023 THE AUTHORS.

Automated summary

The three-dimensional flow of non-Newtonian fluid over a slendering stretching sheet considering radiative and chemical reaction effects is studied. The Buongiorno model is used to analyze the fluid flow region, while a numerical scheme in Matlab is employed to solve the governing model. The results show that higher values of heat generation improves the temperature curves, and radiation and heat source enhance the temperature of the fluid.
