- Abstract
In spite of various reports on non‐Newtonian fluids, little is known on the impact of chemical reaction on the Darcy–Forchheimer flow of Ree–Eyring fluid when Cattaneo–Christov (C‐C) heat flux (HF) is significant. The inclusion of porous medium occurs in various procedures which include heat transfer, geophysics design, and so forth. It also influences oil production recovery, energy storage units, solar receivers, and many others. The Darcy–Forchheimer flow model is important in the fields where a high flow rate effect is a common phenomenon, for instance, in petroleum engineering. In this study, we aim to analyze the dissipative Darcy–Forchheimer flow of Ree–Eyring fluid by an inclined (stretching) plate with chemical reaction. We have included the C‐C HF model to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of the fluid. Equations in the mathematical model are metamorphosed as ordinary differential equations and then unriddled with the aid of shooting strategy. The main advantage of the shooting method is that it is easy to apply. The shooting method requires good initial guesses for the first derivative and can be applied to both linear and nonlinear problems. Results are explicated through graphs. We took the help of a statistical tool, that is, correlation coefficient to analyze the impression of crucial parameters on surface friction drag (skin friction coefficient), heat and mass transfer rates. The main inferences of this study are porosity parameter and Forchheimer numbers deprecate the fluid velocity, Eckert number ameliorates fluid temperature and concentration minifies with larger chemical reaction parameter. It is discovered that the Forchheimer and Weissenberg numbers deprecate the surface friction drag. Mass transfer rate has a substantial positive relationship with Schmidt number and chemical reaction. Furthermore, the heat transfer rate has a substantial positive correlation with the thermal relaxation parameter and a substantial negative correlation with the Eckert number.
