Heat and Mass Transfer Analysis for the MHD Forced Convective Flow of a Nanofluid over a Slendering Stretching Sheet with Radiation in Porous Medium

Abstract

Computational analysis of radiative heat and mass transfer of nanofluid over a slendering stretching sheet in porous medium with uneven heat source and slip effects have been carried out in this article. The transformed equations a of the flow model are solved by the Runge-Kutta scheme coupled with shooting method to depict the dimensionless velocity, temperature, and concentration at the boundary layer. Numerical computations are carried out and discussed for skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number. We found an excellent agreement of the present results with the existed results under some special conditions. It is also found that the heat transfer performance is high in the presence of velocity slip effect. Dimensionless skin-friction coefficient has decreased for increasing magnetic field, power lawindex with velocity slip and wall thickness.
