In plain language

Industrial and engineering operations require improved working fluids to reach optimal productivity, which has driven research into non-Newtonian fluid materials. This work examines the behaviour of tiny particles propagating through a magnetized Eyring-Powell binary reactive fluid under the influence of generalized Arrhenius kinetics and thermal radiation. The researchers developed a theoretical partial derivative boundary value model to represent the system, then transformed it into an invariant model using similarity quantities. They solved this formulation using the Chebyshev collocation method, finding that the results agreed both quantitatively and qualitatively with established literature. The analysis evaluated the influence of various fluidic terms across both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid scenarios, demonstrating that an increase in thermal radiation enhances the propagation of tiny particles through the reactive fluid medium.

Key takeaways

  • A theoretical boundary value model was developed for magnetized Eyring-Powell binary reactive fluid with generalized Arrhenius kinetics.
  • The transformed model was solved using the Chebyshev collocation method, showing qualitative and quantitative agreement with existing results.
  • Higher thermal radiation enhances the propagation of tiny particles within the Eyring-Powell binary reactive fluid.

Why it matters

Many industrial processes depend on working fluids to transfer heat and transport materials efficiently. Understanding how thermal radiation and chemical kinetics affect non-Newtonian fluids helps researchers predict fluid behaviour more accurately, supporting efforts to design better base fluids for engineering operations.

Commercialisation angle

The work represents early-stage theoretical modelling that could inform the future design of enhanced industrial and engineering base fluids. Potential users include process engineers and fluid developers seeking to optimise particle transport and heat transfer, though the findings remain at a mathematical stage without immediate direct commercial deployment.

Abstract

The interest in improving the industrial and engineering working fluid for optimal productivity inspired studies on various fluid materials. Cauchy stress tensor fluids with suitable non-Newtonian rheological properties will enhance industrial fluids. Thus, Eyring-Powell fluid with applicable properties serves as a platform to promote engineering base fluid materials. As such, this study examines tiny particle thermal radiation and propagation in binary reactive Eyring-Powell with generalized Arrhenius kinetics fluid. A theoretical partial derivative boundary value model is developed and transformed into an applicable invariant model via similarity quantities. A Chebyshev collocation method is adopted to solve the model, and the outcomes quantitatively and qualitatively agree with the existing ones. The impact of fluidic terms on the Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid cases is investigated, and the tiny particle propagation in the Eyring-Powell binary reactive fluid is enhanced with rising thermal radiation.
