Numerical solution of chemically reactive and thermally radiative MHD Prandtl nanofluid over a curved surface with convective boundary conditions

Source abstract

Abstract This study intends to elaborate the heat and mass transfer analysis of Prandtl nanofluid flow over a vertically heated curved surface together with MHD, thermal radiation, and chemical reaction effects. The boundary layer approximations developed the governing flow equations such as momentum, energy, and diffusion balance equations. The nonlinear system of PDEs is changed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations via proper transformations. By taking the assistance of the bvp4c algorithm, the numerical technique is imposed explicitly for attaining the dimensionless form of the fundamental equations. The nondimensional outcomes are apprehended here which rely on numerous physical constraints. The impression of these physical parameters on momentum and thermal boundary layers along with concentration outlines are discussed and demonstrated graphically. The impact of drag force, heat transfer coefficient, and mass flow rate are computed and presented through tables.
