Significance of chemical reaction with activation energy for Riga wedge flow of tangent hyperbolic nanofluid in existence of heat source

This manuscript uncovers the heat and mass transfer of an unsteady tangent hyperbolic nanofluid flow across an extensible Riga wedge under the effects of stagnation point, heat source, and activation energy. The flow computations with modified Hartmann numbers are embedded in this investigation particularly in the unsteady tangent hyperbolic liquid stream scenario. The focus pertains to augment heat conduction in the bulk liquid as heat and mass transport media. The implications of controlling parameters on non-dimensional speed, temperature, as well as concentration profiles are visually portrayed. The governing partial differential equations are modified into non-dimensional forms by reducing the number of independent factors, which are then pursued numerically utilizing the Runge-Kutta method with the shooting tool. The velocity of Newtonian fluid improves as the magnitude of wedge angle parameter βw rises, although it is marginally lower than that of tangent hyperbolic fluid, the temperature of Newtonian fluid intensifies substantially faster than that of tangent hyperbolic fluid for higher values of βw. The skin friction factor increases with alterations to the Hartmann parameter, Weissenberg factor, wedge angle parameter as well as suction parameter. The percentage increase in skin friction factor is 13.3 and 21.93 when modified Hartmann number takes input in the range 0 ≤ Mh ≤ 0.2 and unsteady parameter 0.1 ≤ A ≤ 0.5. The Schmidt number, chemical change, and wedge angle parameters are all designed to boost the Sherwood number.
