the oscillatory pattern of boundary layer equations for the governing flow is computed utilizing the Perturbation

enhancement is notably significant for copper nanoparticles.

mass transfer rate. Fig. 14 illustrates that as Sc grows, so does the con­
centration profile decay. As a result, the solvent boundary layer is
thicker and inversely proportionate to lower Sc levels. When Kr = 0, the
coefficient has a higher rate in all the real gases for higher species, and
Kr = 5 the coefficient decreases. Sc values of 0.22 (hydrogen), 0.30
(helium), 0.60 (water wapour), 0.78 (amonia) were chosen. This results
are excellent agreement with the results of veera krishna [41].
