- Description
- A steady MHD boundary layer flow of Williamson nanofluid over an exponential stretching surface through a porous medium is considered. The effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis have examined in the energy transport equation. The influences of solar radiation and chemical reaction are taken into the account. The governing boundary layer equations with the boundary conditions are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations with the help of selected exponential type of similarity variables. They are then solved numerically using well-known Shooting technique along with Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method. The numerical results are presented through graphs and a table to discuss the characteristics of different flow fields versus pertinent parameters. Comparisons with previously published work have been conducted and the results are found to be in good agreement. It is found that temperature field is enhanced for the larger Brownian motion, thermophoresis parameter and radiation parameter effects. 2017 by American Scientific Publishers. All rights reserved.
