Description:
Purpose: After being motivated by the diverse applications of blood rheology, nanotechnology, magnetic field, chemical reaction, solar radiation, and non-Darcy porous media in nano-industrial, medical, and chemical engineering domains. The current computational study aims to numerically examine the influences of velocity slip, internal thermal generation or absorption, chemical reactions, and thermal radiation on magneto-hydrodynamic blood-based nanofluid flow with thermo-Brownian motion through an extending interface within a high-permeability medium. Furthermore, the sensitive analysis of flow features with respect to the independent flow parameters is considered. Design/methodology/approach: Suitable similarity equations are employed to convert the partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations together with their boundary constraints. The NDSolve method in Mathematica 11.0 is employed to numerically analyze the flow model, yielding data for the stream function, velocity profile, frictional force coefficient, temperature profile, concentration profile, local Nusselt number, and Sherwood number across several rheological parameters. Main findings: A boundary slip diminishes momentum transmission from the fluid to the surface; when velocity slip escalates, the velocity profile declines. The intensity of the thermal boundary layer escalates with the thermal Grashof number. The temperature distribution is exacerbated by the influence of radiation. As the Brownian parameter grows, the nanofluid temperature intensifies. The chemical reaction parameter substantially affects the enhancement of both skin friction and the Sherwood number. The Nusselt number is enhanced by increasing the thermal Grashof number. The sensitivity analysis indicates that the chemical reaction and concentration Grashof number significantly influence the improvement of rheological properties. Applications: The results of this work are relevant for regulating film thickness, chemical vapour deposition, drug delivery systems, and process optimization.
