Double-diffusive transport and thermodynamic analysis of a magnetic microreactor with non-Newtonian biofuel flow

摘要: Magnetic microfuel-reforming is a promising method of biofuel processing in diesel engines. However, the complex interactions amongst non-Newtonian flow, magnetic field and reactor have hindered understanding their influences upon transport phenomena system. To resolve this issue, heat mass porous microreactor containing Casson rheological fluid subject to investigated analytically. The system assumed host homogenous uniformly distributed endothermic/exothermic chemical reaction. Two-dimensional analytical solutions are developed for temperature concentration fields as well Nusselt number local entropy generations, results rigorously validated. It demonstrated that changes characteristics altering thermal radiation properties can lead bifurcation gradient on surface medium. general behaviour such dominated by exothermicity (or endothermicity) reaction phase. also shown variations parameter intensity incident angle modify considerably. extent these modifications found be heavily dependent wall thickness diminishes walls become thicker. Further, total generation highly sensitive increases intensifying field, provided thin.
