Effects of thermal slip and chemical reaction on free convective nanofluid from a horizontal plate embedded in a porous media.

We consider a two-dimensional, uniform, incompressible and free convection flow of a nano-fluid along a plane. The plate is located facing upward about the porous medium. Throughout the investigation, thermal slip, chemical reaction, heat emission/absorption is considered. In the modeling of nano-fluid we have considered the dynamic effect along with the Brownian and thermophoresis. In obtaining the governing equations, including the boundary conditions, an appropriate scaling is applied. The governing momentum equations, including thermal energy and nanoparticles equations are translated into a group of nonlinear ODEs by using Lie symmetry group transformation. The transformed equations are then solved numerically using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg fourth-fifth order. The numerical results of velocity, temperature, and nanoparticle volume fraction profiles for varied physical parameters will be discussed and analyzed at the end. The discussion also includes the local Nusselt and the local Sherwood numbers against several of the systems' physical parameters. It is found that the velocity and temperature decrease with thermal slip and heat absorption whilst it increases by increasing heat generation and chemical reaction order. Our present results will be compared with similar existing literature results.
