Importance of exponentially falling variability in heat generation on chemically reactive von kármán nanofluid flows subjected to a radial magnetic field and controlled locally by zero mass flux and convective heating conditions: A differential quadrature analysis

Owing to the various physical aspects of nanofluids as thermally enhanced working fluids and the significance of swirling flows in rheological devices as well as in the spin coating and lubrication applications, the current comprehensive examination aimed to explore the important features of spinning flows of chemically reactive Newtonian nanofluids over a uniformly revolving disk in the existence of a radially applied magnetic field along with an exponentially decaying space-dependent heat source, in the case where the disk surface is heated convectively and unaffected by the vertical nanoparticles’ mass flux. Based on feasible boundary layer approximations and Buongiorno’s nanofluid formulation, the leading coupled differential equations are stated properly in the sense of Arrhenius’s and Von Kármán’s approaches. By employing an advanced generalized differential quadrature algorithm, the obtained boundary layer equations are handled numerically with a higher order of accuracy to generate adequate graphical and tabular illustrations for the different values of the influencing flow parameters. As findings, the graphical results confirm that the nanofluid motion decelerates meaningfully thanks to the resistive magnetic influence. A significant thermal amelioration can be achieved by strengthening the magnetic impact, the generation of heat, the thermal convective process, and the thermophoresis mechanism. Moreover, it is found that the thermo-migration of nanoparticles can be reinforced more via the intensification in the convective process, the thermo-migration of nanoparticles, and the activation energy.
