Numerical analysis of homogeneous–heterogeneous reactions on MHD Reiner–Philippoff fluid using Cattaneo–Christov model

In the presence of an aligned magnetic field across the stretched sheet, this work aims to provide a theoretical analysis of Cattaneo–Christov’s work on heat diffusion in Reiner–Philippoff fluid streams within a Darcy–Forchheimer medium. To explain the heat transfer process, non-linear heat radiation and a heat source/sink are employed. In addition, boundary conditions for thermal and velocity slip, as well as homogeneous–heterogeneous reactions, are discussed. Using the computing program MATLAB, an efficient Runge–Kutta-based shooting technique is used to determine the solution of the altered equations. The graphs illustrate the impact of relevant parameters that define the flow. The fluid’s elasticity, the magnetic field, and the porous matrix all work together to prevent the Reiner–Philippoff fluid from moving, which results in a thinner boundary layer. Physical quantities can also be numerically considered using tables. The findings suggest new applications in nuclear reactors, chemical processes, electronic cooling, and heat transfer phenomena.
