Effect of nonlinear thermal radiation on second order slip flow and heat transfer of Jeffrey nanofluid over a stretching sheet with non-uniform heat source/sink

Abstract

The flow and heat transfer of Jeffrey nanofluid over a stretching sheet with non-uniform heat source/sink is considered in the present analysis. Effects of nonlinear thermal radiation and second order slip are taken along with uniform magnetic field. System of partial differential equations governing the described problem is reduced to nonlinear ordinary differential equations with aid of similarity transformations. Further, reduced equations are solved numerically using Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg 45 order method with shooting technique. Effects all flow pertinent parameters are recorded in terms of tables and graphs. The results are studied with help of plotted graphs, tables. Results are compared with existing one for some limiting cases and are found to be excellent agreement. It is found that both first, second order velocity slip parameters reduces the thickness of momentum boundary layer and hence decrease the velocity as a result of this one can find the increase in thermal boundary layer.
