Abstract

The current model examines the impact of convective boundary condition on the MHD nanofluid flow across a permeable nonlinear stretching surface in a steady, laminar, incompressible boundary layer. Basic equations get transmuted to a nonlinear model after selecting relevant similarity transformations which are explored numerically using validated FEM (finite element method) code. Results explicitly demonstrate traits of pertinent parameters on species concentration, temperature, and velocity functions. The numerical code accuracy is validated by comparing the outcomes with existing data. The study reveals that surge in the nanoparticles enhances nanofluid thermal conductivity. Heat transfer, Skin friction, and Sherwood number are sturdily influenced by the permeability of the sheet. These findings are of practical importance in designing heat transfer systems that employ nano-fluids as their principal heat exchange medium and support applications in futuristic technology which thrives on heat enhancement research like renewable and geothermal energy arena.The current study can be extended to flows considering pressure gradients on arbitrary surfaces and to cases of three-dimensional flows, and non-Newtonian flows.
