The Effect of Viscous Dissipation and Chemical Reaction on the Flow of MHD Nanofluid

Abstract

A numerical investigation is performed for the MHD viscous nanofluid due to convective stretching. Heat and mass transfer are investigated for steady, viscous dissipations and chemical reactions. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into an arrangement of the non-linear ordinary differential equations by using the similarity transformation. Utilising the shooting method, the system of ordinary differential equations has been solved with the help of the computational language FORTRAN to compute the numerical results. The numerical solution obtained for the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles has been presented through graphs for different choices of physical parameters. The numerical values of the Nusselt and Sherwood numbers have also been presented and analysed through tables.
