Abstract
Abstract The aim of this paper is to explore the effect of heat source/sink, and space- and temperature-dependent viscous and Joule dissipation on 3D magnetohydrodynamic radiating Eyring–Powell nanofluid streamline flow with convective conditions past a stretching sheet. The coupled nonlinear flow, thermal, and species phenomena equations are transformed into a system of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations through suitable similarity transformations with corresponding boundary conditions. The transformed dimensionless equations are then solved analytically with the Adomian decomposition method. A comprehensive study is conducted on the influence of sundry physical dimensionless parameters governing the flow velocity, temperature, and concentration distributions. For parameters of engineering interest, the computed numerical results are presented with the aid of tables. Furthermore, the present solutions agree with the earlier reported results in specific cases, and an excellent correlation is witnessed. The present analysis is of great interest germane to cooling of metallic plates, polishing of artificial heart valves, oil pipeline friction reduction in the oil industry, flow tracers, enhanced oil recovery, and separation processes in chemical industries and petroleum extraction.
