Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of activation energy with binary chemical reaction for unsteady flow on permeable stretching surface.
Design/methodology/approach
The simultaneous effects of multiple slip and magneto-hydrodynamic effects at the boundary are taken into account. The thermal buoyancy parameter and thermal radiation are included in both energy and momentum equations, while expression of activation energy is considered in concentration equation. Three-stage Lobatto IIIa finite difference collocation technique with bvp4c MATLAB package is used to obtained numerical results.
Findings
The influence of key elements (Schmidt number, buoyancy force ratio factor, factor of radiation, magnetic element, unsteadiness factor, suction/injection parameter, Prandtl number, activation energy, chemical reaction rate parameter, heat source and sink parameters, velocity, thermal and concentration slips, porosity parameter and temperature difference parameter) on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are illustrated pictorially. A detailed discussion is presented to see how the graphical aspects justify the physical prospect.
Originality/value
In the best of author’s knowledge, this work is yet not available in existing literature.
