Significance of homogeneous–heterogeneous reaction on MHD nanofluid flow over a curvilinear stretching surface.

The current study aims to investigate heat transfer processes in chemically reacting processes, specifically focussing on the flow of an electrically conducting nanofluid over a curved extended surface. The work tries to describe the complex interaction between heat and mass transport phenomena in many applications, such as the biological sciences, catalytic processes and conflagration by including both homogeneous and heterogeneous processes in the framework. Introducing a convective heating strategy is a new technology that may boost circulation phenomena, perhaps leading to improved heat transfer performance. Additionally, the comparison between the Xue and Tiwari–Das models provides helpful insights into their individual suitability and precision in representing the heat transfer mechanism inside the examined system. The boundary layer approximation is used to handle the mathematical equations. Using the proper similarity variables, the controlling partial differential equations (PDEs) are effectively refined into the dimensionless form and computed numerically utilising the Runge–Kutta Fehlberg 4th–5th-order technique. The suggested characteristics of the physical parameters are examined and their relevant behaviour is illustrated graphically. The outcomes declare that the rise in magnetic parameter will decline velocity while enhance thermal profiles. Homogeneous and heterogeneous reaction strengths will decline the mass distribution while heat source/sink, solid fraction and Biot numbers will improve the temperature profile. In all circumstances, the Xue model exhibits a higher rate of thermal dispersion and temperature profile than the Tiwari–Das model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
