Abstract

The current study examines the complex interaction between mass and thermal energy variations, considering factors including activation energy, chemical reactions, and thermal radiation across a nonlinear stretching sheet. The ternary nanofluid comprises titanium, single-walled carbon nanotubes, and multi-walled carbon nanotubes to improve the heat transfer characteristics of the fluidic system. Partial differential equations are utilized to represent the system's dynamic behavior mathematically. Following this, similarity transformations are used to convert these governing partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. The numerical solution for the transformed boundary value equations is derived using MATLAB. The graphical representations explain the results of these calculations, providing clear insights into the behavior of important variables in various conditions. It is concluded that an increase in the flexibility parameter improves the thermal behavior of a fluid, while an increase in the Prandtl parameter decreases it. Furthermore, applying a magnetic field to the dynamics of fluid heating enhances temperature and energy transfer.
