- Description
- The three-dimensional mixed convection boundary layer flow of a nanofluid induced by an exponentially stretching sheet is numerically investigated in the presence of thermal radiation, heat source/sink and first-order chemical reaction effects. The adopted nanofluid model incorporates the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis into the mathematical model. The first-order velocity slip boundary conditions are also taken into account. The governing boundary layer equations are transformed into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by employing suitable similarity variables. The resultant equations are solved numerically using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method. Obtained solutions are compared with previous results in a limiting sense from the literature, demonstrating an excellent agreement. To show the typical trend of the solutions, a parametric study is conducted. The axial velocity, transverse velocity, temperature and nanoparticle volume fraction profiles as well as the skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are demonstrated graphically as a representative set of numerical results and discussed comprehensively. 2017, SocietItaliana di Fisica and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
