The motion of a non-Newtonian nanofluid over a semi-infinite moving vertical plate through porous medium with heat and mass transfer

Abstract

The motion of a non-Newtonian nanofluid over a semi-infinite moving vertical plate through porous medium stressed by an external uniform magnetic field with heat and mass transfer is investigated. The fluid under consideration obeys Eyring-Powell model. The effects of the physical parameters of the problem such as, permeability, chemical reaction as well as the fluid material parameters such as Hartmann number, Eckert number, and Reynolds number are discussed. The effects of external cooling (Gr > 0) of the plate by the free convection are considered. Graphical results are presented to highlight effects of various emerging parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles.
