Abstract

The current study analyzes the initiation of convection in a Maxwell-Cattaneo couple-stress ferrofluid within a porous layer, considering the effects of a chemical reaction. Small perturbations are applied to the fluid under the assumption of a zero-order energy release chemical reaction. The system is cooled from the upper layer while maintaining a steady temperature at the lower boundary. We employed linear stability analysis and determined Rayleigh number using the Galerkin Method (GM). This study emphasizes the influence of magnetic, chemical, Maxwell-Cattaneo, and couple-stress parameters on the initiation of ferro-convection. The findings indicate that both magnetic and chemical reaction parameters hasten the initiation of ferro-convection, while the porous medium and couple-stress parameters have a stabilizing effect. Notably, it is demonstrated that the destabilizing effects of chemical reactions and magnetic stresses can be effectively regulated in the presence of couple-stresses. The solutions provide insights into the potential application of ferromagnetic fluids for controlling efficient heat transfer mechanisms.
