Impact of Binary Chemical Reaction and Activation Energy on Heat and Mass Transfer of Marangoni Driven Boundary Layer Flow of a Non-Newtonian Nanofluid

Abstract

The flow and heat transfer of non-Newtonian nanofluids has an extensive range of applications in oceanography, the cooling of metallic plates, melt-spinning, the movement of biological fluids, heat exchangers technology, coating and suspensions. In view of these applications, we studied the steady Marangoni driven boundary layer flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics of a nanofluid. A non-Newtonian second-grade liquid model is used to deliberate the effect of activation energy on the chemically reactive non-Newtonian nanofluid. By applying suitable similarity transformations, the system of governing equations is transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations. These reduced equations are tackled numerically using the Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg fourth-fifth order (RKF-45) method. The velocity, concentration, thermal fields and rate of heat transfer are explored for the embedded non-dimensional parameters graphically. Our results revealed that the escalating values of the Marangoni number improve the velocity gradient and reduce the heat transfer. As the values of the porosity parameter increase, the velocity gradient is reduced and the heat transfer is improved. Finally, the Nusselt number is found to decline as the porosity parameter increases.

Influence of Thermophoretic Particle Deposition on the 3D Flow of Sodium Alginate-Based Casson Nanofluid over a Stretching Sheet

“…Casson liquid is classified as a shear depleting liquid with an indeterminable thickness at zero shear rate. Recently, Gowda et al [6] examined the heat and mass transfer of the Marangoni driven boundary layer flow of a non-Newtonian nanofluid by considering the effects of binary chemical reactions and activation energy. Dahab et al [7] investigated the MHD Casson nanofluid movement over a non-linearly warmed porous medium with suction/injection in the presence of an expanding surface effect.…”

Finite Element Study of Bio-Convective Stefan Blowing Ag-MgO/Water Hybrid Nanofluid Induced by Stretching Cylinder Utilizing Non-Fourier and Non-Fick’s Laws

“…Additionally, Madhukesh et al [29] used non-Fourier heat flux model over curved stretching surface to investigate the impact of AA7072-AA7075/water-based hybrid nanofluid along with Newtonian heating when temperature at the wall is constant. In 2021, two dimensional laminar flow of non-Newtonian Marangoni nanofluids in presence of activation energy along with chemical reactions has been presented by Gowda et al [30] and they showed that heat transfer rate declines with larger Marangoni number. Very recently, Yusuf et al [31] studied the bio-convective entropy generation effect induced by inclined plate in presence of Williamson nanofluid.…”
