Influence of Arrhenius Activation Energy and Radiation Over the Flow of a Chemically Reacting Third Grade Hybrid Nanofluid on a Moving Flat Surface

Ogunsola AW, Ajala OA and Ajayi Tunde M*

In this era of global quest for more energy, the hybrid nanofluid is a better choice compared to the conventional nanofluid. The intention here is to present the influence of both radiation and Arrhenius activation energy over a moving fluid. Similarity transformation is being employed to convert the governing equations of the problem to coupled ordinary differential equations and numerical solutions are obtained using MATLAB bvp5c. Effects of radiation, Arrhenius parameter, fluid parameter, Reynold number were examined, presented graphically and a discussion was made on same. It was noted that the hybrid nanofluid shows better result compared to nanofluid.
