Analysis of assisting and opposing flows of the Eyring-Powell fluid on the wall jet nanoparticles with significant impacts of irregular heat source/sink

Abstract

Nanofluids are employed in a variety of human endeavors, such as engineering tools in chemical and power engineering, electronics, medicine, and other areas. Thus, this article investigates the wall jet flow (WJF) and heat transfer (HT) by incorporating the Eyring-Powell nanofluid with a significant consequence of erratic heat source/sink and buoyancy. The leading equations are converted by similarity variables and then obtained numerical solutions by the bvp4c technique. The influences of physical influential parameters on the dimensionless velocity and dimensionless temperature distribution profiles are discussed to predict the behavior of the fluid flow and heat transfer. Also, the heat transfer and friction factor were elaborated with the aid of tables for dimensionless emerging parameters. Moreover, the current results are compared with published results in a limiting case to show the accuracy of the present method. Finally, the current study informs us that the relevant parameters have had a considerable impact on the profiles of the boundary layer.
