Insight into heterogeneous catalysis in a Ree-Eyring nanofluid flow influenced by a magnetic dipole with irreversibility analysis

The Ree-Eyring fluid is a type of non-Newtonian fluid with interesting characteristics of yield stress and shear thinning. Examples include emulsions, slurries, and polymer solutions. Keeping in view such amazing attributes of Ree-Eyring fluid, the aim of this analysis is to deliberate the flow of electrically conducting Ree-Eyring nanofluid due to a stretched surface under the impact of the magnetic dipole with surface-catalyzed reaction. Non-uniform heat generation/absorption and viscous dissipation effects are considered to analyze the heat transport phenomenon. The uniqueness of the envisaged model is enhanced by studying the entropy generation analysis with convective conditions at the surface of the boundary. Adequate transformations are employed to transform the system of partial differential equations (PDEs) into coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs). An effective MATLAB bvp4c methodology is adopted for the numerical computations. Several graphs and numerically calculated results in tabular form are displayed. The outcomes revealed that the rate of irreversibility generation upsurges for the varied values of the Brinkman number. Also, upon minimizing the thermophoretic parameter, the temperature drops near the boundary whereas it upsurges far from the boundary. Surface catalysis parameter decreases the solutal profile. The endorsement of the foreseen model is also added to this study.
