Numerical Solution of MHD Mixed Convective Boundary Layer Flow of a Nanofluid through a Porous Medium due to an Exponentially Stretching Sheet with Magnetic Field Effect

摘要

In this paper, Magnetohydrodynamic - MHD boundary layer flow of a nanofluid is explored over an exponentially stretching sheet. Using similarity transformations, the governing boundary layer equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations. Hence obtained equations are solved numerically using the implicit finite difference method such as Keller Box technique. The heat transfer characteristics and flow field for the effects of the governing parameters were computed and discussed. The numerical patterns for various governing parameters like wall skin friction coefficient, the velocity, mass transfer coefficient, heat and temperature, concentration profiles are computed, discussed for its graphical characteristics. A comparison is made with prior published work and the results are found to be in excellent agreement.
