Abstract

This article addresses the effects of homogenous–heterogeneous reactions on electrically conducting boundary layer fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics over a stretching sheet with Newtonian heating are examined. Using similarity transformations, the governing equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The constricted ordinary differential equations are solved computationally by shooting technique. The impact of pertinent physical parameters on the velocity, concentration and temperature profiles is discussed and explored via figures and tables. It is clear from figures that the velocity profile reduces for large values of fluid parameter B and Hartmann number H. Skin friction coefficient decreases for large values of Hartmann number H and fluid parameter B. Also, heat transfer rate monotonically enhances with conjugate parameter of Newtonian heating γ and Prandtl number Pr.

Highlights

Summary

Introduction

Fluids used in industries maximum are non-Newtonian in nature which do not have a direct relationship between stress and deformation rate, e.g., molten polymers, biological fluids, lubricants, mud and some fluids occurring naturally such as animal blood. Malik et al [2] analyzed the flow of Powell– Eyring fluid above a stretching cylinder and considered two models, namely Reynaldo’s and Vogel’s models They observed that boundary layer reduced for large Prandtl number values. They analyzed that velocity profile increased by enhancing the values of suction parameter. Ara et al [3] illustrated the flow of Powell– Eyring fluid exponentially over a shrinking surface They examined that velocity profile increased with the mass suction increment, while temperature profile showed opposite behavior. Nadeem and Saleem [4] observed the free and force convection flow by Neural Comput & Applic (2018) 30:3581–3588 a stretching cone in the existence of mass and heat transfer They observed that tangential velocity has opposite behavior for flow parameters. In Refs. [7,8,9,10], authors investigated the Powell–Eyring fluid model in different physical conditions
