Abstract
The steady flow of a Jeffrey fluid model in the presence of nano particles is studied. Similarity transformation is used to convert the governing partial differential equations to a set of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations which are solved numerically. Behavior of emerging parameters is presented graphically and discussed for velocity, temperature and nanoparticles fraction. Variation of the reduced Nusselt and Sherwood number against physical parameters is presented graphically. It was found that reduced Nusselt number is decreasing function and reduced Sherwood number is increasing function of Brownian parameter \( N_{\text{b}} \) and thermophoresis parameter \( N_{\text{t}}\).
Highlights
Study of non-Newtonian fluids over a stretching surface achieved great attention due to its large number of application
It was found that reduced Nusselt number is decreasing function and reduced Sherwood number is increasing function of Brownian parameter Nb and thermophoresis parameter Nt
The effects of non-Newtonian behavior can be determined due to its elasticity, but sometimes rheological properties of fluid are identified by their constitutive equations
