| Summary: | A numerical study on a steady, laminar, boundary layer flow of a nanofluid with the influence of chemical reaction resulting in the heat and mass transfer variation is made. The non-linear governing equations with related boundary conditions are solved using Adam’s predictor corrector method with the effect of a Brownian motion and thermophoresis being incorporated as a model for the nanofluid, using similarity transformations. Validation of the current numerical results has been made in comparison to the existing results in the absence of chemical reaction on MHD flows. The numerical solutions obtained for the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles for the choice of various parameters are represented graphically. Variations of heat and mass transfer across a Brownian motion and thermophoresis are studied and analyzed. |
