Abstract

Darcy-Forchheimer model has been used to consider the mathematical and statistical aspects of Prandtl nanofluid flow on a stretched curvy geometry, with homogenic-heterogenic reactions, nonlinear radiation, exponential heat, Joule heating, velocity slip, and convective heat conditions. An account of entropy significance has been given to boost the applicability of the study. The 4-5th ordered numerical tool, Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg, has been employed to establish the plots for the considered flow. ANOVA and Taguchi optimisation technique is used to obtain the optimal condition in enhancing the heat transfer rate for modelled mathematical problem. Here, the study reveals that the increasing homo-heterogenic strength parameters foster the concentration profile. The study also found that the thermal curves are positively affected by the radiation parameter and the temperature differential parameter. In addition to this, graphical portraits of isotherms and streamlines have been given to characterise the flow and heat pattern. Taguchi method reveal that first level of Prandtl number, magnetic parameter, Weissenberg number, heat source parameter and third level of curvature parameter, produce maximum Nusselt number. Heat source parameter has large contribution of about 49.45% among the other parameters and Prandtl number has the least contribution of about 1.4% for optimisation.
