Abstract
In this article, the fully developed steady state flow of an incompressible fluid pertained to as viscoelastic nanofluid model with radiation effects through a penetrable plate is studied. Continuity, momentum and energy equations are elaborated to comprehend the nature of the fluid flow. By using similarity transformations, the solution of arising governing equations is obtained numerically with the assistance of a shooting technique. Furthermore, the consequences of different parameters, that is, Brownian motion parameter, Weissenberg number, thermophoresis parameter, permeability parameter, non-Newtonian parameter and radiation parameter on concentration, velocity and temperature fields, are canvassed with the help of graphs. The effects of Pr and γ on Nusselt number and N b and γ on Sherwood number are also discussed with the assistance of graphs and tables for different values of dimensionless parameters.
