Electrically conducting mixed convective nanofluid flow past a nonlinearly slender Riga plate subjected to viscous dissipation and activation energy

This paper reports the mass and energy transmission characteristics of an electrically conducting mixed convective nanofluid flow past a stretching Riga plate. An additional effect of viscous dissipation, Arrhenius activation energy and heat source is also studied. The energy and mass transmissions are evaluated by a zero-mass flux of nanoparticle and convective boundary conditions. Buongiorno’s relations are proposed for the Brownian motion and thermophoretic diffusion. The similarity substitutions are employed to derive the non-dimensional set of modeled equations. The obtained set of equations is numerically processed via parametric continuation method (PCM). Several flow factors affecting the velocity, energy, and mass distributions are graphically discussed. It has been perceived that the fluid velocity field declines with the influence of velocity power index (m), while improves with the upshot of modified Hartmann number (Q). The effect of Schmidt number and chemical reaction diminishes the concentration profile $\phi (\eta )$. Furthermore, the energy curve enhances with the effect of thermophoresis factor, Biot and Eckert number.
