Mixed convection flow of MHD Eyring-Powell nanofluid over a stretching sheet: A numerical study

Abstract

In the present analysis incompressible two dimensional mixed convection flow of MHD Eyring-Powell nanofluid over a stretching sheet is investigated numerically. The governing highly nonlinear partial differential equations are converted into ordinary differential equations by using a similarity approach. Numerical solutions of the nonlinear ordinary differential equations are found by using a shooting method. Effects of various parameters are displayed graphically for velocity, temperature and concentration profiles. Also quantities of practical interest i.e skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are presented graphically and tabularly.

Reproducing kernel Hilbert space method based on reproducing kernel functions for investigating boundary layer flow of a Powell–Eyring non-Newtonian fluid

“…Nadeem and Saleem [6] have studied on the series of solutions of an unsteady Powell-Eyring nanofluid flow about a rotating cone. Malik et al [7] have researched mixed convection in a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Powell-Eyring nanofluid over a stretching sheet. Nadeem et al [8] have studied the MHD flow of a Powell-Eyring fluid between parallel heated plates.…”

Dual stratified mixed convection flow of Eyring-Powell fluid over an inclined stretching cylinder with heat generation/absorption effect

“…26 Khan et al 27 studied thermophoretic, heat and mass diffusion in MHD Eyring-Powell fluid flow along a vertical stretching sheet with chemical and joule heating effects. The influence of mixed convection on Eyring-Powell nano fluid flow along a stretching sheet was addressed by Malik et al 28 Goswami et al 29 presented the flow of Eyring-Powell fluid in the presence of electroosmosis with interfacial slip effect. Hayat et al 30 discussed the both numerical and series solution of the Eyring-Powell fluid flow in the presence of internal heat generation/ absorption and Newtonian heating effects.…”

Numerical study of chemically reacting unsteady Casson fluid flow past a stretching surface with cross diffusion and thermal radiation

“…Krishna et al [22] studied the influence of chemical reaction and thermal radiation on free convective MHD flow through a permeable stretching sheet with Soret and Dufour effects. The study of mixed convection flow of incompressible Eyring-Powell nanofluid past a stretching surface was carried out by Malik et al [23]. The presence of Soret and Dufour effects on nanofluid flow past an exponentially stretching sheet under the influence of aligned magnetic field was discussed by Sulochana et al [24].…”
