MHD mixed convection flow of radiating and chemically reactive Casson nanofluid over a nonlinear permeable stretching sheet with viscous dissipation and heat source

Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to discuss the flow of Casson nanofluid past a nonlinear permeable stretching sheet in the presence of thermal radiation, chemical reaction, viscous dissipation, heat source, and magnetohydrodynamics.Design/methodology/approachAppropriate transformations are used to convert the boundary layer equations into nonlinear ODEs which are then solved numerically by using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg fourth-fifth order method along with shooting technique.FindingsSolution of this systems is obtained for velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles. Graphical illustrations are added to discuss the effect of evolving parameters against above-mentioned distributions. Tabular values of local skin friction factor, local Nusselt number, and local Sherwood number are also added and studied accordingly.Originality/valueA good agreement of the present results has been observed by comparing with the existing literature results. It is noted that skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number decrease with Casson parameter and increase with suction parameter.
