Abstract
Owing to the various physical aspects of nanofluids as thermally enhanced working fluids and the significance of swirling flows in rheological devices as well as in the spin coating and lubrication applications, the current comprehensive examination aimed to explore the important features of spinning flows of chemically reactive Newtonian nanofluids over a uniformly revolving disk in the existence of a radially applied magnetic field along with an exponentially decaying space-dependent heat source, in the case where the disk surface is heated convectively and unaffected by the vertical nanoparticles’ mass flux. Based on feasible boundary layer approximations and Buongiorno’s nanofluid formulation, the leading coupled differential equations are stated properly in the sense of Arrhenius’s and Von Kármán’s approaches. By employing an advanced generalized differential quadrature algorithm, the obtained boundary layer equations are handled numerically with a higher order of accuracy to generate adequate graphical and tabular illustrations for the different values of the influencing flow parameters. As findings, the graphical results confirm that the nanofluid motion decelerates meaningfully thanks to the resistive magnetic influence. A significant thermal amelioration can be achieved by strengthening the magnetic impact, the generation of heat, the thermal convective process, and the thermophoresis mechanism. Moreover, it is found that the thermo-migration of nanoparticles can be reinforced more via the intensification in the convective process, the thermo-migration of nanoparticles, and the activation energy.
1 Introduction
During the last decades, the topic of heat/mass enhancement through multi-phase flows (e.g., monotype/hybrid/ternary nanofluid flows) has attracted amazing consideration from the scientific communities around the globe owing to their widespread necessity in several practical domains (e.g., the ameliorating the combustion characteristics of diesel fuel in compression ignition engines). In this context, it was demonstrated through a benchmark experimental investigation [1] and other authenticated sources [2, 3] that regular liquids (e.g., oil, ethylene glycol, and water) are not preferred thermally as working fluids due to their weak thermal conductance. As technical propositions, it was advised that the insertion of tiny/nano-sized particles (e.g., alumina, graphene, copper oxide, gold, titania, silver, copper, as well as single- and multi-walled carbon nanotubes) is among the best feasible way for improving the thermal performances of pure fluids on the condition that the adding solid nanoparticles should have a higher thermal conductivity as compared with the host fluid. Such a biphasic mixture (i.e., nanoparticles and base fluid) was named a nanofluid for the first time in 1995 by Choi and Eastman [4]. Thanks to the latest progress in the mixture theory and the science therein, the existing experimental and theoretical literature surveys involve an exhaustive overview regarding the principal specific appearances describing persuasively the physical, thermal, and rheological aspects of nanofluids [5–10]. In this respect, it was reported that the thermophysical proprieties of nanofluids depend on several influential factors (e.g., shape/size of nanoparticles as well as their concentration and temperature) that can affect significantly the heat transfer within a nanofluidic medium and its flow pattern. By linking theoretically the bioconvection occurrence phenomenon to other thermal and mass transport processes, Waqas et al. [11] proposed advanced non-homogeneous flow models constrained by realistic physical impacts to explore the consequence of swimming motile microorganisms on the hydrothermal and mass features of slippery nanofluid flows near a variable thick surface of a rotating disk. More recently, Shah et al. [12] exploited the possibility of hybridizing the nanoparticles and in a suitable base fluid to examine thermodynamically the behavior of a magnetized hybrid nanofluid inside a porous cavity structure in the presence of a tilted magnetic field. The same solid mixture was employed also by Maneengam et al. [13] in pure water to study the irreversibility features and MHD flow patterns of the hybrid nanofluid inside a lid-driven corrugated porous cavity. Further hydrothermal and entropic appearances of the nanofluid were evidenced comprehensively by Alshare et al. [14] during its MHD natural convective motion inside a lid-driven wavy cavity with an elliptical obstacle by emplying a robust numerical code based on the Galerkin weighted residual finite element technique.
Convective flows over rotating heated disk-shaped bodies are considered among the main popular dynamical problems treated fundamentally in fluid mechanics and heat transfer since a long time ago. Further, the dealing of flows near rotating disks is of great interest to the majority of researchers not only for comprehending the occurring flow regimes but also for their diverse uses (e.g., stability control of swirling flows, domestic devices, rotating heat exchangers, visco-rheometers, chemical stirring operations, spinning disk reactors, vehicle engines, and productive aero-hydrodynamic turbines). In this respect, several examinations were accomplished roughly for such flow problems [15–17]. In 1921, Von Kármán [18] was the first pioneering scientist who discussed theoretically the dynamical axisymmetric aspect of steady swirling flows driven over a rotating infinite disk for incompressible viscous fluids. Based on the boundary layer theory, Navier-Stokes’s mathematical formulation of this famous fluid flow problem can be extended reasonably to the case of non-Newtonian fluids [19, 20] (e.g., Bingham and tangent hyperbolic fluid models). Mathematically, the simplified boundary layer equations can be reduced to a nonlinear system of coupled ordinary differential equations, whose similar solutions can be derived semi-analytically or numerically through the modified so-called Von Kármán’s integral momentum equation. Keeping in mind the rheological and thermal importance of nanofluids and their applicabilities in Von Kármán’s flow configuration, several scrutinizations were performed recently on nanofluid flows over a rotating disk. In this context, Waini et al. [21] performed a numerical stability analysis of unsteady axisymmetric swirling flows of hybrid nanofluids over an isothermally heated disk. By utilizing the same hybrid mixture, Kumar et al. [22] invoked the entropy minimization approach along with Von Kármán’s strategy to quantify the different thermodynamical irreversibilities that can be happened during the radiative magnetohydrodynamic slipping flows of hybrid nanofluids over a rotating heated disk when the strengths of Ohmic heating and viscous dissipation are significant. Similarly, Mandal and Shit [23] assumed the effective contribution of non-Newtonian viscous dissipation and Joule heating to carry out a numerical entropic scrutinization on unsteady axisymmetric MHD flows of radiative Casson nanofluids over a turning permeable disk, which was supposed to be heated convectively, stretched radially, and embedded horizontally in a quiescent nanofluidic medium containing ethylene glycol or water as a holding fluid and alumina or copper as nanoparticles. From another strategical point of view, Magodora et al. [24] preferred employing the non-homogeneous nanofluid model of Buongiorno [25] to show the significance of Brownian and thermophoresis diffusions of nanoparticles on the onset of heat and mass transport during the axisymmetric swirling motion of a chemically reacting nanofluid containing water and gold nanomaterials nanofluid near a rotating heated disk. In another multi-diffusive problem, Latiff et al. [26] considered Stefan’s blowing influence and bioconvection occurrence to examine the hydrothermal appearances along with the resulting mass transport phenomena during the unsteady nanofluid motion over a spinning stretchable disk.
Nonetheless, inclusive studies on the significant impacts of Arrhenius’s chemical reactive kinetics, the thermo-migration diffusive process, and the Brownian motion of nanoparticles on MHD Von Kármán non-homogeneous flows of chemically reacting nanofluids over a horizontal turning disk are still rare in the available literature, in the case of zero mass flux and thermal convective conditions, and especially when the electrically conducting nanofluidic medium is exposed to an adjustable magnetic source acting radially, which is enhanced thermally
viaan exponentially decaying space-dependent heat source. Motivated by this pending scientific concern, the present examination aimed surely to provide definitive answers on this open topic. Accordingly, an appropriate MHD nanofluid flow model has been developed properly in this regard by adopting the renovated version of Buongiorno’s approach. Based on the generalized boundary layer simplifications and other admissible physical assumptions, the leading conservation equations are derived mathematically in the form of coupled partial differential equations (PDEs) together with their corresponding realistic boundary conditions (BCs), which are rewritten thereafter as a set of strongly nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) having no closed-form solutions. For this reason, an advanced hybrid algorithm has been implemented numerically in Matlab software. After performing extensive validating tests, the generated datasets are presented skillfully to provide a comprehensive physical discussion through the following research questions:
1- How can formulate a proper MHD non-homogeneous Von Kármán flow model for a chemically reactive nanofluid by considering the effective contribution of Brownian and thermophoresis diffusions and utilizing the molar concentration notion, in the case where the external magnetic field is exerted radially in the presence of an exponentially decaying heat generation?
2- How can associate the generalized differential quadrature algorithm with Newton-Raphson’s technique in a methodological solution to evidence the present three-dimensional MHD convective nanofluid motion and determine the temperature and nanoparticles’ molar concentration distributions?
3- What are the advantages of using GDQM- NRIT as a hybrid numerical approach?
4- When and to what computational level we can consider that the outputted results are numerically admissible?
5- What are the dynamical and thermal impacts of the applied external magnetic field?
6- Which control parameters can exhibit an enhancing thermal trend?
7- How can determine the unknown wall characteristics related to the nanoparticles’ molar concentration and the temperature by exploiting the conditions of zero mass flux and convective heating?
8- What are the mass influences of convective heating and Arrhenius’s chemical reaction on the Brownian and thermophoretic migrations of nanoparticles?
2 Governing equations and physical model
Let’s consider a steady laminar nanofluid flow over an impermeable disk of infinite extension, which is rotated uniformly around its symmetrical
axis with an angular velocity
and heated convectively thanks to a surrounding hot working fluid of temperature
. As an additional presumption, a destructive reactive process is taken place chemically throughout the Newtonian nanofluidic medium according to Arrhenius’s kinetics. Initially, the geometrical configuration is positioned horizontally in a quiescent nanofluidic medium, which is featured physically by the pressure
, the temperature
, and the nanoparticles’ molar concentration
as schematized tri-dimensionally in
Figure 1. For a better description of the proposed nanofluid model, an appropriate cylindrical frame is chosen herein to provide a proper mathematical formulation in the cylindrical coordinate system
. Moreover, the convective swirling nanofluid motion has happened spatially nearby to a magnetic source applying radially a uniform magnetic field of intensity
in the presence of an exponentially decaying space-dependent thermal source. Furthermore, the wall characteristics
corresponding to the nanofluid temperature and nanoparticles’ molar concentration at the contact surface are unknown as boundary conditions. However, their approximate values can be estimated computationally through the gradient expressions of the thermal and concentration boundary conditions (i.e., the convective heating and zero vertical mass flux conditions). For reducing the complexity of the nanofluid flow problem under consideration, the following physical presumptions are taken into account:
− The viscous nanofluid has a Newtinanan rheological trend and behaves as a weakly electrically conducting medium, in which the induced magnetic field can be ignored in front of the externally applied magnetic field.
− Since the strength of the applied magnetic field is not strong enough, the physical influence of Hall’s current can be neglected obviously.
− In addition to the convective heating process and the existence of solid nanoparticles within the viscous nanofluidic medium, the occurred boundary layer regions are due also to the uniform rotation of the geometrical configuration.
− The momentum, thermal, and concentration boundary layer approximations are adopted along with the renewed Buongiorno’s model to formulate the proposed nanofluid flow model.
− The governing PDEs of thermal energy and nanoparticles’ distribution are adjusted appropriately by utilizing the molar concentration of nanoparticles instead of their volume fraction , where .
− The contribution of Brownian motion and thermophoresis mechanism are incorporated effectively in the proposed nanofluid flow model by invoking the two-phase nanofluid model.
− The base fluid is in local thermal equilibrium with the solid nanomaterials.

Before starting the numerical modeling of the present nanofluid flow problem, the spatial physical domain should be altered to the computational domain by introducing another spatial variable into the dimensionless functions and their derivatives as follows:
By focussing only on the physical function and adopting the transformation of Eq. 28, the following differential system is obtained:
3 Numerical solution methodology
Numerically, the precise approximate solutions satisfying the nonlinear coupled differential system of Eq. 29 can be developed easily via an advanced hybrid algorithm GDQM-NRIT, which is principally based on the generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM) and Newton-Raphson’s iterative technique (NRIT). For this purpose, a non-uniform distribution of spatial collocation nodes along the reduced computational domain is considered based on Gauss-Lobatto’s grid points, which are defined as:where .
In the framework of the proposed numerical procedure, the following generalized differential quadrature approximations are invoked during the discretization of the resulting equations in the one-dimension Gauss-Lobatto space:in which
Computationally, the mathematical algorithm of the weighing GDQ coefficients of Eqs. 34–38 is structured as follows:
Accordingly, we obtain the following nonlinear algebraic system:
An efficient NRIT algorithm has been developed properly to generate accurate discrete solutions for the above gigantic algebraic system with a higher order of exactitude. Sequel to this numerical treatment, the following square residual errors (SREs) are assessed numerically:
Briefly, the most important strategic steps involved in the suggested methodological solution are outlined in Figure 2.

4 Multiple validations of generalized differential quadrature method-Newton-Raphson’s iterative technique results
A perfect authentication of the executed GDQM-NRIT code has been demonstrated evidently in Table 2 for the quantities by comparing the computed GDQM-NRIT values with those estimated by previously Turkyilmazoglu [27] in a certain special case study using the semi-analytical ESAT procedure. As anticipated, the extensive comparative tests performed quantitatively between the results of GDQM-NRIT and ESAT reflect forcefully the correctness of our outputted GDQM-NRIT outcomes, which are evaluated accordingly with very small square residual errors . To check again the correctness of the present GDQM-NRIT numerical simulation, a general corroboration has been carried out for the studied nanofluid flow problem as shown in Table 3 by examining the accurateness order of the results given by the proposed GDQM-NRIT algorithm to those outputted additionally via another most commonly used method based on an efficient RKFM-ST numerical subroutine. Quantitatively, it is found an outstanding agreement between the results of GDQM-NRIT and RKFM-ST. Thus, the prime preliminary emphasized objectives of the present investigation can be accessed accurately via the developed GDQM-NRIT code. Furthermore, it is worth noting here that all the tabular results are provided with an absolute accuracy level of the order of .

5 Results and discussion
This illustrative section is dedicated especially to the physical deliberations of MHD Von Kármán’s flow that can be happened suddenly within a chemically reactive nanofluidic medium in the presence of an internal heat generation. In this respect, several physical aspects have been explored for this kind of axisymmetric flow under the significant impact of a radial magnetic source. To strengthen the onset of heat and mass transport phenomena within the nanofluidic medium, a chemical reaction mechanism is taken place destructively according to Arrhenius’s kinetics and the thermal aid of an exponentially decaying space-dependent heat generation source, in the case where the disk surface is heated convectively and unaffected by the vertical nanoparticles’ mass flux. Based on the generated GDQM-NRIT outputs, numerous dimensionless demonstrations are portrayed properly for the radial, azimuthal, and transverse velocity fields , the nanofluid temperature and nanoparticles’ molar concentration profiles , the local frictional and heat transfer rate factors , as well as the wall characteristics as revealed graphically and tabularly in Figures 3–15, Table 4 and Table 5. To provide noticeably comparable graphical upshots, the curves of Figures 3–15 are plotted skilfully via professional graphical tools (e.g., Grapher and Surfer) to evidence the responses of dimensionless quantities against the mounting parametric values of Magnetic parameter, Heat generation parameter, Thermal Biot number, Thermophoresis parameter, Activation energy parameter, Brownian motion parameter, and Schmidt number by varying one of these parameters and keeping the others fixed at their default values underlined in Table 1.

Numerical estimation of thermal wall characteristics.
The unified dynamical influence of the magnetic parameter on the dimensionless profiles is clearly shown in Figures 3–5. Graphically, it is demonstrated from Figure 3 that the intense radial motion is seen near the rotating disk. Also, it is noticed from Figures 3–5 that the strengthening values of the magnetic parameter create a considerable decline in the profiles , which leads to an extensive overall opposition to the nanofluid motion in the directions. This fact can be explicated by the resistive influence of Lorentz’s forces, which are induced magnetically within the electrically conducting nanofluidic medium as a consequence of the physical interaction between the radially exerted magnetic field and the nanofluid motion.
FIGURE 5
Dynamical sway of the parameter on the dimensionless velocity .
Keeping in mind the hindering mechanical demeanor of Lorentz’s forces towards the nanofluid motion, an amount of thermal energy is communicated substantially. For this reason, the temperature profile heightens with the elevating values of the magnetic parameter as witnessed in Figure 6. From an energetical point of view, the nanofluidic medium can be enhanced thermally more near the surface disk by the existence of a variable internal heat source exhibiting an exponentially decaying trend in the directions, whose potency can be controlled effectively through the heat generation parameter . Consequently, a sensitive upsurge in the temperature profile is witnessed in Figure 7 as a response to the strengthening in the heat generation parameter . Similarly, the salient results of Figure 8 and Figure 9 prove the possibility of accomplishing an extra improvement in the temperature profile via the higher estimation in the magnitudes of the thermal Biot number and the thermophoresis parameter . These valuable observations confirm that the heat transfer mechanism can be ameliorated within the nanofluidic medium either by diminishing the thermal resistance between the hot working fluid and the surface contact of the disk or by reinforcing the upward thermo-migration of nanoparticles from the hot region to the cold zone.

In the framework of the passive control approach, the vertical nanoparticles’ mass flux becomes zero at the surface disk due to its impermeability characteristic. In this case, Sherwood’s number gets vanished as long as there is no mass transfer manifestation to evaluate quantitatively for the solid nanoparticles at the horizontal boundary. This physical situation leads to a top-heavy configuration, in which the solid nanoparticles will regroup more nearby the cold region as revealed in Figures 10–14 for the nanoparticles’ molar concentration distribution . In the light of the present nanofluid flow model, it is confirmed in Figures 10–12 that the superior values of the thermal Biot number , the thermophoresis parameter , and the activation energy parameter can intensify the role of the thermophoretic forces by reinforcing the partial migration of nanoparticles from the disk surface (i.e., the hot region) to the surrounding region of the free-stream zone (i.e., the cold region), which leads to an important decay in the wall nanoparticles’ molar concentration with a thickening in the concentration boundary layer region. On the other hand, the downward vertical motion of nanoparticles (i.e., the reciprocal migration of solid nanoparticles) can be accomplished within the nanofluidic medium by supporting the mass diffusive mechanism via the advanced values of the Brownian motion parameter and the Schmidt number as emphasized in Figure 13 and Figure 14. In this situation, an important escalation in the wall nanoparticles’ molar concentration is obtained with a shrinking in the concentration boundary layer region. Moreover, the sways of the parameters on the reduced wall concentration ascertained graphically in Figures 10–14 are accentuated in another way as witnessed in Figure 15.

Variation of dimensionless wall quantity against (A) and , (B) and , (C) and .
From an engineering point of view, the behaviors of the reduced quantities against the pertinent parameters are elucidated numerically in Table 4 and Table 5. It is important to mention that the surface drag force factor can be reduced practically by diminishing the magnitude of the magnetic parameter . However, an enhancement in the wall heat transfer rate can be reached only via the growing values of the thermal Biot number and the activation energy parameter . Furthermore, it is found that the dimensionless wall temperature exhibits an elevating tendency in response to the mounting values of the parameters , whereas a reverse trend is observed for the activation energy parameter .

• A postponing effect is seen for the magnetic parameter towards the nanofluid motion in all directions.
• An elevation in the temperature profile can be achieved via the greater values of the magnetic parameter, the heat generation parameter, the thermal Biot number, and the thermophoresis parameter.
• A significant strengthening in the thermo-migration of nanoparticles can be obtained via the grander magnitudes of the thermal Biot number, the thermophoresis parameter, and the activation energy parameter.
• The downward motion of nanoparticles can be reinforced considerably via the increasing values of the Brownian motion parameter and the Schmidt number.
• The surface drag force factor can be reduced by weakening the magnetic parameter.
• The magnitude of the temperature gradient can be ameliorated significantly at the wall via the growing values of the activation energy parameter and thermal Biot number.
• Compared to other control parameters, the activation energy parameter has a declining impact on the wall temperature.
