Exploration related to chemical processes in nanomaterial flows contains astonishing features. Nanoparticles have unique physical and chemical properties, so they are continuously used in almost every field of nanotechnology and nanoscience. The motive behind this article is to investigate the Cross nanofluid model along with its chemical processes via auto catalysts, inclined magnetic field phenomena, heat generation, Brownian movement, and thermophoresis phenomena over a symmetric shrinking (stretching) wedge. The transport of heat via nonuniform heat sources/sinks, the impact of thermophoretic diffusion, and Brownian motion are considered. The Buongiorno nanofluid model is used to investigate the impact of nanofluids on fluid flow. Modeled PDEs are transformed into ODEs by utilizing similarity variables and handling dimensionless ODEs numerically with the adoption of MATLAB's developed bvp4c technique. This software performs a finite difference method that uses the collocation method with a three-stage LobattoIIIA strategy. Obtained outcomes are strictly for the case of a symmetric wedge. The velocity field lessens due to amplification in the magneto field variable. Fluid temperature is amplified through the enhancement of Brownian diffusion and the concentration field improves under magnification in a homogeneous reaction effect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Solar energy is the basic source of renewable energy, and it is being used for controlling global pollution/warming. As the Cross nanofluid is very useful for cooling solar devices, in this paper analysis of the global warming effect is investigated by incorporating the nonlinear thermal radiation over the exponentially extendable surface because it plays a major role related to solar energy absorption of nanofluid. Furthermore, the mathematical modeling of Cross nanofluid involving magnetic effect and diffusion is discussed by using the fact of chemical reaction. Chemical reaction finds astonishing applications in pollution studies, chemical processing equipment, and polymer production. As a result of this study, it is noticed that more magnetized conducting fluid controls the motion of fluids for both cases of shear thinning and shear thickening. Brownian motion parameter Nb affects the rate of the random motion of nanoparticles. Increased Nb temperature also increases due to these random movements of nanoparticles. That is the reason why pollutant nanoparticles spread in air as a result of global warming increase. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The current investigation explains the chemical reaction and bioconvection process for an inclined magnetized Cross nanofluid over an inclined cylinder using a spectral relaxation approach. Additionally, the facts concerning swimming gyrotactic microorganisms, non-uniform thermal conductivity, and variable decrease or increase in heat sources are taken together. Each profile is checked for inclined and orthogonal magnetic impact. Appropriate transformations made for conversion of nonlinear PDEs into systems of ODEs. For obtaining numerical results, a spectral relaxation approach is utilized, and graphs are plotted with each physical parameter attached. It is well established that the temperature field intensifies owing to an amplification of thermal conduction and Brownian diffusivity phenomena. The heat transfer rate amplifies owing to a magnification in magnetic parameter and thermal conductivity, but the velocity field diminishes as a result of magnification in the Weissenberg number and power law index. Amplification in the reaction rate constant parameter diminishes the concentration field. Activation energy is the key factor responsible for magnification in the concentration field. Furthermore, smooth agreement is found during comparison with the existing literature. Statistical analysis is also conducted for physical quantities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: The infinite shear viscosity model of Carreau fluid characterizes the attitude of fluid flow at a very high/very low shear rate. This model has the capacity for interpretation of fluid at both extreme levels, and an inclined magnetic dipole in fluid mechanics has its valuable applications such as magnetic drug engineering, cold treatments to destroy tumors, drug targeting, bio preservation, cryosurgery, astrophysics, reaction kinetics, geophysics, machinery efficiency, sensors, material selection and cosmology. Novelty: This study investigates and interprets the infinite shear rate of Carreau nanofluid over the geometry of a cylindrical channel. The velocity is assumed to be investigated through imposing an inclined magnetic field onto cylindrical geometry. Activation energy is utilized because it helps with chemical reactions and mass transport. Furthermore, the effects of thermophoresis, the binary chemical process and the Brownian movement of nanoparticles are included in this attempt. Formulation: The mathematics of the assumed Carreau model is derived from Cauchy stress tensor, and partial differential equations (PDEs) are obtained. Similarity transformation variables converted these PDEs into a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Passing this system under the bvp4c scheme, we reached at numerical results of this research attempt. Findings: Graphical debate and statistical analysis are launched on the basis of the obtained computed numerical results. The infinite shear rate aspect of Carreau nanofluid gives a lower velocity. The inclined magnetic dipole effect shows a lower velocity but high energy. A positive variation in activation energy amplifies the concentration field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
