The impact of thermal stratification and heat generation/absorption on MHD carreau nano fluid flow over a permeable cylinder

Abstract

The impact of magnetic field, nanoparticles on the two-dimensional flow of a generalized non-Newtonian Carreau fluid flow over a permeable cylindrical surface with no slip condition has been investigated in the existence of heat generation/absorption, thermal stratification and thermal radiation. The mentioned sets of nonlinear governing differential equations are converted into nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using appropriate similarity transformations and solved numerically and fiend with shooting technique performed in this concern. It is initiate that the two various values of magnetic parameter $$(M)$$ , heat generation/absorption parameter $$(H)$$ and power law index $$(n)$$ influences velocity, temperature and nanoparticle volume fraction profiles. Finally, in this article the impact of various parameters on skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood numbers are examined with the support of the tabular form.
