Rotating frame analysis of radiating and reacting ferro-nanofluid considering Joule heating and viscous dissipation

We investigated the role of vibrational rotations and slip conditions at liquid-sheet interface in maintaining the three dimensional flow of ferro-nanoliquid (water-Fe3O4) over a bi-directionally stretchable surface under the influence of magnetic field. It is assumed that chemical reactions prevail between two species A and B whose diffusion coefficients are unequal. Also, mass transfer is considered in the presence of homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions for species A and B. Influences of nonlinear thermal radiation along with viscous dissipation and Joule heating are also invoked into the analysis due to their predominance in the control of heat and mass transfer mechanism. Stability and convergence limitations are verified to ensure the accuracy of results. The outcome due to proposed explicit finite difference scheme is exhibited in the form of figures and tables to illustrate the influence of emerging parameters for two cases namely slip nanofluid (SNF) and no slip nanofluid (NSNF). Results reveal that vibrational rotations and slip at the surface of sheet substantially control flow, and heat and mass transfer phenomena. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
