Abstract

Here, the 3D rotating flow of a nanoliquid is examined in the presence of Darcy-Forchheimer porous space and homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions. A deformable surface generates flow. The surface has constant heat and mass flux conditions. Novel characteristics of Brownian dispersion and thermophoresis are retained. Assumption of boundary layer has been used in the problem development. The change in partial differential equations to nonlinear ordinary differential equations is done through suitable variables. The obtained nonlinear system has been handled by an optimal homotopic strategy. The graphical delineations analyze impacts of different sundry variables. Further skin-friction coefficients and local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are sketched and analyzed. Our findings reveal that an enhancement in the thermophoresis parameter yields stronger thermal and concentration fields while the opposite behavior is observed for the higher Brownian motion parameter. It is also noticed that impacts of the porosity parameter and Forchheimer number on the thermal and concentration fields are quite similar while the reverse trend is seen for the concentration rate.
