Abstract
In the present article, we considered two-dimensional steady incompressible Oldroyd-B nanofluid flow past a stretching sheet. Using appropriate similarity variables, the partial differential equations are transformed to ordinary (similarity) equations, which are then solved numerically. The effects of various parameters, namely, Deborah numbers and , Prandtl parameter , Brownian motion , thermophoresis parameter and Lewis number , on flow and heat transfer are investigated. To see the validity of the present results, we have made the comparison of present results with the existing literature.
Highlights
The flow over a stretching sheet has been premeditated because of its numerous industrial applications such as industrialized of polymer sheet, filaments and wires
Crane [3] extended the work of Sakiadis [1] for both linear and exponentially stretching sheet considering steady twodimensional viscous flow
Heat transfer analysis over an exponentially stretching continuous surface with suction was presented by Elbashbeshy [5]
Summary
The flow over a stretching sheet has been premeditated because of its numerous industrial applications such as industrialized of polymer sheet, filaments and wires. Sakiadis [1] was the first who discussed the boundary layer flow over a stretching surface. He obtained similarity solutions for the laminar boundary layer equations describing heat and flow in a quiescent fluid driven by an exponentially stretching surface subject to suction.
