Three-dimensional magnetized slip flow of Carreau non-Newtonian fluid flow through conduction and radiative chemical reaction

An electrically conducting three-dimensional non-Newtonian Carreau fluid induced by bidirectional movement of sheet is demonstrated in this work. The aspects of viscous heating, radiation and first-order chemical reactions are executed in energy transport and mass species expressions. The new variables are defined to restructure the mathematical problem into single independent variable equations (ordinary differential equations, ODE’s). The re-framed ODE’s are exploited numerically through the utilization of MATLAB bvp4c package. The derived results of velocities, temperature and species distributions are executed graphically and interpreted physically for both shear-thinning and shear-thickening cases. Also, the numerical results for coefficients of skin friction, rate of mass transfer in terms of Sherwood number and rate of heat transfer in terms of Nusselt number are presented in tables. The influence of local Weissenberg numbers on Sherwood and Nusselt numbers for shear-thinning fluids is reversed to shear-thickening fluids. The thermal radiation parameter enhances the fluid temperature, and chemical reaction parameter decelerates the fluid concentration.
