| description | Abstract In the current study, the attention is paid on the phenomena of mixed convection flow under the effect of exothermic catalytic chemical reaction along the curved surface. The proposed problem is modeled in nonlinear coupled partial differential equations. In keeping view the principle of homogeneity the dimensional flow model is transformed into dimensionless by using an appropriate scaling. This well arranged form of equations is then discretized with the aid of finite difference method for the numerical solution. The solutions of the considered model are estimated and displayed in the graphs. Here, in the contemporary study variables of physical significance such as velocity profile, temperature distribution and mass concentration are encountered efficiently. The incorporated pertinent dimensionless numbers that is body shape parameter, mixed convection parameter, modified mixed convection parameter, Prandtle number, exothermic parameter, chemical reaction parameter, temperature relative parameter, dimensionless activation energy parameter, and Schmidt number for which variations in the concentrated physical variables are estimated and presented in graphical way. For each boundary conditions computations are performed along the curved surface for different body shape parameter (n) values range from 0 up to 0.5; the obtained results satisfied by the boundary conditions. The velocity profile becomes increasingly more significant for n equal to 1 and due to the uniformly heated surface temperature profile and mass concentration are uniformly distributed. |
