Magneto-Williamson nanofluid flow past a wedge with activation energy: Buongiorno model

The current investigation explores the effect of activation energy on the MHD radiative Williamson nanofluid flow across a wedge using heat generation and binary chemical reactivity. The flow model consists of partial differential equations (PDEs) by transforming them into ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Numerical computations have been carried out through the bvp4c MATLAB package. The most effective solutions for flow profiles have been displayed through graphs, while the numeric solutions for the drag friction, heat, and mass transport have been displayed via tables. Numerical findings demonstrate that the temperature field is accelerated by the increase in radiation parameter. In addition, it is intriguing to discover that the concentration boundary layer thickness improves as the activation energy increases. A fundamental study further reveals that the local skin friction coefficient is a rising function of thermal and concentration Grashof numbers. Moreover, it is concluded that the enhanced Brownian motion, thermophoresis, and Eckert number decline the heat transfer rate.
