Computational analysis of induced magnetohydrodynamic non-Newtonian nanofluid flow over nonlinear stretching sheet

Abstract

In the current article, induced magnetic field applied on second-grade fluid flow under variable thermal conductivity by an exponentially stretching sheet is taken into account for current analysis. The chemical reaction and viscous dissipation effects under the influence of thermophoresis and Brownian motion are considered on an exponentially stretching sheet. With the above assumptions, a mathematical model was developed in terms of partial differential equations by using the boundary-layer approximations. Similarity transformations in terms of ordinary differential equations considerably simplified this system. The dimensionless system was solved by a numerical procedure, the bvp4c method. The effects of involving physical parameters are presented through graphs and tables. The obtained numerical outcomes of the skin friction coefficient, the Sherwood number, and the Nusselt number are also highlighted in the tabulated form. It is concluded that the velocity and concentration profiles increased due to higher values of material parameter.
