Intensification of thermal stratification on dissipative chemically heating fluid with cross-diffusion and magnetic field over a wedge

Abstract

This paper aims to examine the heat and mass characteristics for thermally stratified chemically heated, dissipative flow under the cross-diffusion and imposed Lorentz forces. A self-similar model is obtained employing suitable similarity transformations. Then, the RK technique is used for mathematical analysis. The stimulations of pertinent physical quantities in the flow regimes, shear stresses, and the Nusselt number were examined graphically. It is noted that more radiative flow favors the thermal behavior of the fluid and increases in the Prandtl number causes the decrease in thermal characteristics. Moreover, decreases in mass characteristics were examined by the fluctuating chemical reaction and Schmidt parameters. Lastly, key outcomes of the work are pinpointed.
