Abstract
Refrigeration of electronic instruments, in view of environmental concern and energy security, is one of the main challenges of the new generation technology. The miniaturization of electronic devices has benefits, but in such situations, the heat dissipated per unit area rises in an uncontrolled manner. This can be done by either improving the characteristics of secondary and primary working liquids or by modifying the system. In this article, we present a comprehensive detail of unsteady 3D flow of Eyring-Powell nanofluid with convective heat and mass flux conditions. The effects of heat source-sink and nonlinear thermal radiations are considered in the Eyring-Powell nanofluid model. Additionally, chemical mechanism responsible for the mass transfer such as activation energy is accounted in the current relation. Moreover, suitable transformations are betrothed to obtain coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) from the system of highly nonlinear coupled partial differential equations and numerical solution of system of coupled ODEs is obtained by means of bvp4c scheme. Our findings demonstrate that heat flux at the wall declines by uplifting the chemical reaction rate constant. The concentration of Eyring-Powell nanofluid is directly affected by activation energy of chemical process, and a trend of thermophoretic force on magneto-nanofluid is qualitative, contradictory to that of Brownian motion.
