Radiative Mixed Convection Flow of Casson Nanofluid through Exponentially Permeable Stretching Sheet with Internal Heat Generation

Abstract

This paper investigates the mixed convection boundary-layer flow of Casson nanofluid with an internal heat source on an exponentially stretched sheet. The Buongiorno model, incorporating thermophoresis and Brownian motion, describes fluid temperature. The modeled system is solved numerically using bvp4c routine to analyze the impact of different fluid parameters on velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles. The analysis reveals that the suction effect, magnetic field, and Casson parameter reduce momentum boundary layer thickness and hence slow fluid motion. Conversely, buoyancy forces increase mass boundary layer thickness which results in accelerating fluid motion. Temperature and concentration profiles show similar trends for Brownian motion, radiation, and thermophoresis.
