Abstract

Nonlinear mixed convection in magnetohydrodynamic thermo-convection nanofluid flow is addressed. Flow is induced by a stretched surface. Chemical reaction effects on the activation energy of the species concentration of Arrhenius are considered. The nonlinear governing equations are converted to a dimensionless ordinary system through adequate transformations. The solutions of nonlinear dimensionless expressions are computed by employing the spectral quasilinearization method. A consequence of various parameters involved such as velocity, concentration, and thermal field has been reported graphically. Concentration has the reverse trend for both random motion and thermophoresis variables.
