Influence of Radiative Magnetic Field on a Convective Flow of a Chemically Reactive Hybrid Nanofluid over a Vertical Plate

Abstract

This study pitch into the three different types of hybrids nanofluids flow across a semi-infinite moving vertical plate exposed to the radiative magnetic field and are also implanted in a porous medium. The governing equations corresponding to the problem is a linear partial differential equation which are simplified by appropriate non-dimensional quantities and solved using Laplace transform technique. Exact general solutions for the dimensionless velocity and temperature, concentration fields as well as the accompanying skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are graphically derived. Increase in the parameters like permeability, Grashof number for heat and mass elevates the hybrid nanofluids velocity profile. When the magnetic parameter increases there is a retardation in the flow speed. Heat transfer rate slows down when the radiation increase. It reveals that Prandtl number lowers thermal boundary layer thickness. Intensification of chemical reaction lowering the concentration. Elevation of Schmidt number, accelerates the mass transfer. This study, also have a keen interest in determining which type of hybrid nanofluid provides the greatest enhancement in velocity and temperature.
