3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

In this section, the effect of binary chemical reaction on three dimensional MHD flow of Powell-Eyring nanofluid over stretching sheet is analyzed numerically. The governing boundary layer equations are reduced into system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation and then solved by Runge-kutta method. The influence of non-dimensional parameters Powell-Eyring fluid parameter ε, unsteady parameter S, magnetic parameter M, Prandtl number Pr, Lewis number Le, Thermophoresis number Nt, Brownian number Nb, non-dimensional energy E, Biot number Bi, temperature difference parameter δ, dimensionless reaction rate σ and fitted rate constant n respectively on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are shown numerically and graphically with the help of graphs.

Figure 1 explores the various values of Powell-Eyring fluid parameter ε on velocity profiles f’ and g’. Increasing values of Powell-Eyring fluid parameter ε increase both profiles. Higher values of Powell-Eyring fluid parameter ε reduced the boundary layer thickness. Figure 2 depicts unsteady parameter S on velocity profiles f’ and g’ which reduces f’ and g’ initially. This is because of decreasing values in stretching rate. Influence of magnetic parameter M on velocity profiles f’ and g’ are presented in the figure 3 and it was observed that increasing values of magnetic parameter M decrease the profiles f’ and g’. Figure 4 illustrates the behaviour of unsteady parameter S on temperature profile and concentration profile respectively. Enhancing values of unsteady parameter S increase temperature profile and concentration profile. In figure 5, comparative numerical analysis of non-dimensional parameter Prandtl number Pr on temperature profile and Lewis number Le on concentration profile are shown. Increasing values of Prandtl number Pr decreases temperature profile which diminishes the boundary layer thickness. With increasing values of Lewis number Le,

Concentration profile decreases. Figure 6 and 7 demonstrates the effect of Thermophoresis number Nt, Brownian number Nb on temperature profile and concentration profile respectively. It is noticed that increasing values of Thermophoresis number Nt increase both profiles but increase in Brownian number Nb increases temperature profile and decrease the concentration profile. Increasing values of Biot number Bi increase temperature profile and concentration profile respectively in figure 8. The effect of non-dimensional parameters non-dimensional energy E, temperature difference parameter δ, dimensionless reaction rate σ and fitted rate constant n related to binary chemical reaction on concentration profile are revealed in the figure 9-10. Concentration profile increases with larger values of temperature difference parameter δ, non-dimensional energy E and dimensionless reaction rate σ and it can be observed that opposite reaction for fitted rate constant n. As a result, it can be observed that chemical reaction requires more activation energy when mass flux of stretching sheet is smaller.
