Exponential heat source effects on the stagnation-point heat transport of Williamson nanoliquid with nonlinear Boussinesq approximation

摘要

The nonlinear two-point partial differential boundary-value problem associated with the nano-pseudoplastic material flow and heat transport subject to nonlinear Boussinesq approximation is computed and explored statistically. Heat transportation features are analyzed by the consideration of an exponential space-related heat source and the Buongiorno model of nanofluids. The boundary-driven expressions of the physical phenomenon are coupled and highly complicated due to the consideration of nonlinear convection terms. Reasonable variables are employed to reform the partial differential equations into a system of ordinary differential expressions and are solved numerically. Furthermore, correlation and regression techniques are employed for the statistical evaluation of the phenomenon. The probable error is implemented to calculate the reliability of the computed correlation factors. The exponential index and Schmidt number are positively correlated with the reduced skin friction coefficient whereas the other parameters are negatively correlated with it. The heat transfer rate is improved predominantly by the nonlinear thermal convection parameter. The temperature is enhanced by the intensification of the exponential-based heat source factor. The temperature and concentration profiles are boosted by incrementing the Biot number values.
