Unsteady three-dimensional MHD flow of a nano eyring-powell fluid past a convectively heated stretching sheet in the presence of thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and joule heating

الملخص EN

The purpose of this study is to investigate the unsteady magnetohydrodynamic threedimensional flow induced by a stretching surface.

An incompressible electrically conducting Eyring-Powell fluid fills the convectively heated stretching surface in the presence of nanoparticles.

The effects of thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and Joule heating are accounted in heat transfer equation.

The model used for the nanofluid includes the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis.

The highly nonlinear partial differential equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations with the help of similarity method.

The reduced complicated two-point boundary value problem is treated numerically using Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg 45 method with shooting technique.

A comparison of the obtained numerical results with existing results in a limiting sense is also presented.

At the end, the effects of influential parameters on velocity, temperature and nanoparticles concentration fields are also discussed comprehensively.

Further, the physical quantities of engineering interest such as the Nusselt number and Sherwood number are also calculated.
