Radiation effect on MHD mixed convective flow of CU/CUO-water nanofluids in the presence of chemical reaction

Abstract

Our aim is to examine the singularity of heat and mass transfer of magneto-nanofluid flow past a vertical stretching sheet in presence of thermal radiation, magnetic effect and heat source. In this physical problem the self-similarity transformations are considered to solve basic governing equations. Analytical perturbation technique is used to elaborate the coupled nonlinear ODE’s. Impact of dimensionless parameters on velocity, thermal and concentration are discoursed with help of graphs. The reduced friction factor, local Nusselt and Sherwood number are explained tabular form. To check the variation on the boundary layer nature, we considered the two nanofluids namely, Cu-water and CuO-water based nanofluids. © 2018 by American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved.
