Abstract

A mathematical model describing the homogeneous–heterogeneous reactions in the vicinity of the forward stagnationpoint of a cylinder immerged in a nanofluid is established. Weassume that the homogeneous reaction is given by isothermalcubic autocatalator kinetics, while the heterogeneous reaction ischosen as first-order kinetics. The existence of multiple solutionsthrough hysteresis bifurcations is discussed in detail for the variousdiffusion coefficients of reactant and autocatalyst.
