Abstract

Heat and mass transfer features of the Reiner–Rivlin nanofluid flow over a rotating disk with the chemical reaction and partial slip are scrutinized in this analysis. The resulting fluid equations 'obtained after the introduction of similarity conversions are numerically evaluated by utilizing the finite element procedure. The sway of several important parameters, such as the Reiner–Rivlin parameter (1.0–4.0), Magnetic parameter (0.1–0.4), velocity slip parameters A1 and A2 (1.0–4.0), Radiation parameter (0.1–1.0), thermal slip parameter (0.1–0.7), thermophoresis parameter (0.1–0.7), Brownian motion parameter (0.1–0.7), Lewis parameter (1.0–4.0), Chemical reaction parameter (0.1–0.4) on concentration, temperature, axial, and radial velocity scatterings is depicted through plots. The dimensionless rates of concentration, temperature, and velocity are calculated and are revealed in tables. It is perceived that the temperature of the fluid intensifies in the disk region as the values of the Reiner–Rivlin parameter (K) raise. The values of the Nusselt number attenuate with augmenting values of the thermal slip parameter.
