Significance of Magnetic Field on Carreau Dissipative Flow Over a Curved Porous Surface with Activation Energy
Abstract
This paper theoretically clarifies the impact of pertinent parameters, including viscous dissipation on the flow of Carreau fluid through a permeable arched elongating sheet. Flow describing equations are metamorphosed as ODEs and executed using the combination of shooting and Runge-Kutta\n strategies. Consequences are elucidated using tables and graphs. We discovered that (a) an appreciable decline in the concentration against temperature difference and reaction rate parameters (b) curvature parameter and porosity parameters registered opposite behaviour to each other on velocity\n profile (c) there is a reduction in the heat transfer rate with larger Eckert number and curvature parameters (d) Biot number ameliorates the temperature and local Nusselt number (e) Schmidt number and activation energy parameters are showing different behaviours on local Sherwood number.\n And also, magnetic field and porosity parameters minimize the velocity and surface drag force and Biot number ameliorates the temperature. Further, present results are validated with the earlier outcomes and perceived an acceptable agreement.
