Abstract

In this paper, the effect of activation energy, Soret, and Dufour on non-isothermal heat transfer via the non-linear wall of the steady convective flow of micropolar nanofluid magnetohydrodynamics is investigated. Variations in thermophoresis, Brownian motion, couple stress, and Hall current are also considered. Transformations are used to simplify and then solve the governing equations using the optimal homotopy analysis method and are numerically visualized for results. The behavior was examined and explained in all profile graphs. Tables are presented to illustrate the effect of dimensionless parameters on skin friction coefficients, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers. The concentration reduces via the chemical reaction rate, a temperature relative parameter, and increases with an increase in the activation energy and Soret number. It was found that the local skin-friction coefficient at the generator increases with an increase in the Hall current parameter, solutal Grashof number, and couple stress parameter on the x-axis, the local heat rate decreases through the Dufour number and Brownian motion parameter, and the mass transfer rate increases with an increase in the activation energy parameter and Schmitz and Reynolds numbers.
