Abstract

This article investigates the flow of an electrically conducting and chemically reactive Jeffery nanofluid confined in a two-dimensional permeable stretching sheet in a porous medium. The mathematical model developed for the flow is influenced by nonlinear thermal radiation, viscous dissipation coupled with non-uniform heat source, activation energy and entropy analysis. Similarity transformation variables are used to translate the nonlinear partial differential equations to ordinary differential equations and then solved via Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg algorithm associated with shooting technique. The significant contributions of the emerging physical parameters are graphically and tabularly discussed while the computational values of selected parameters agree perfectly with earlier published studies in the limiting conditions. The current study shows that the velocity profiles advances with an uplift in the Deborah number and stretching parameter while the heat transfer improves with a hike in the surface convection term. More so, the entropy generation rises with frictional heating and magnetic parameters while it depletes with a boost in the thermophoresis term. More so, heat transfer improves with velocity ratio term, radiation and Prandtl numbers as the thermophoresis influence raises the nanoparticles concentration field.
