Framing the performance of variation in resistance on viscous dissipative transport of ferro fluid with homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions

This communication deals with temperature dependent viscosity variation on Ferro fluid with homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions influenced by velocity slip and viscous dissipation effects. A magnetic dipole is placed at some distance on y-axis to magnetize the ferro fluid. The Robust Reynolds exponential temperature dependent viscosity is considered. The set of governing partial differential equations for flow, heat and mass transfer is converted into ordinary differential equations with the help of similarity transformation. The coupled non-linear problem is tackled numerically by means of MATLAB routine bvp4c. Influence of emerging parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration distributions are examined through graphs. Tables display the effects of pertinent parameters on skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number. Notable findings include that viscosity and velocity slip decreases the Ferro fluid velocity whereas temperature and concentration profiles increase for increasing viscous dissipation and Schmidt number, respectively.
