Abstract
The aim of current Paper is to examine the effect/result of ‘heat source’ parameter over a wedge through porous-medium for electrically-conducting fluid flow for a magneto hydrodynamic Casson nanofluid with activation energy. The influence/impact of ‘second law’ analysis for electrically conducting fluid(s) with chemical-reaction also investigated. Dimension-less ordinary differential equations(ODE) are obtained/derived from the highly non- linear PDEs by using similarity transformations. The ‘Runge- Kutta –Fehlberg with shooting technique’ is utilized to solve remodelled ODEs numerically. The effect(s) of the ‘physical parameter’ on velocity, temperature and concentration are extensively discussed through several plots. Numerical result(s) for Nusselt number, skin friction coefficient & ‘Sherwood number’ for various parameter(s) are computed.
