Numerical simulation of nanofluid flow across a slender stretching Riga plate subjected to heat source and activation energy

The current article reports the mass and energy transmission through the mixed convection nanofluid flow past a stretching Riga plate. An additional effect of viscous dissipation, activation energy, and a heat source are also studied. The energy and mass transmission 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 bvp4c (Matlab package). 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 improving with the upshot of modified Hartmann number Q. Moreover, the energy curve develops with the impact of the thermophoresis factor, Biot, and Eckert number.
