Abstract

Studying reactive species in the presence of ferrite nanoparticles helps in understanding how solid nanoparticles influence catalytic reactions, leading to more efficient processes in chemical manufacturing, pollution control, and energy production. Therefore, the convective heat transfer in the boundary layer flow is made by the suspension of solid ferrite nanoparticles in the base fluid. The thermal and momentum boundary layer is best controlled using a magnetic dipole with ferrite nanoparticles. The impact of magnetic dipole on the laminar and steady flow of an incompressible ferromagnetic MnZnFe2O4–C2H6O2 (manganese zinc ferrite-ethylene glycol) nanofluid in a chemically reactive species is numerically examined. It is worth mentioning that the heat flux is evaluated in ferromagnetic nanofluid by using the well-known Fourier’s law of heat conduction. The effects of homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions are incorporated. Emerging parameters proposed in the model impacting magneto-thermomechanical interactions lead to decelerate the movement of fluid particles. These interactions have been observed to retard fluid particle motion, leading to an increase in the skin friction coefficient and a decrease in the heat transfer rate at the surface. Furthermore, an elevated solid volume fraction has been shown to enhance the heat transfer rate within the boundary layer.
