Abstract
We numerically investigate mixed convective heat and mass transport in incompressible nanofluid flow through an exponentially stretching sheet with temperature-dependent viscosity. The fluid flow equations are transformed to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations using appropriate similarity transformations and solved numerically by using the multi-domain bivariate spectral quasi-linearization technique. The fast convergence of the method is shown by demonstrating that the error is exponentially small for a finite number of iterations. The significance and impact of different fluid parameters are presented and explained. For engineering relevance, the entropy generation number has been calculated for different fluid parameter values.
