Thermal Radiation Effect on 3D Slip Motion of Alcu-Water and Cu-Water Nanofluids over a Variable Thickness Stretched Surface

Abstract

The current paper covers the examination of 3D nanofluid motion over a slendering expanding sheet under the influence of slip effect and thermal radiation. In this study, we considered the Cu-water and Al50Cu50-water nanofluids over a non-uniform thickness expanding sheet. With the help of similitude transformations, we changed the derived governed equations as ordinary differential equations. The mathematical outcomes determined by using Runge-Kutta and Newton’s methods. We reveal and interpret the graphs for different parameters of interest. We discussed the skin friction coefficient and reduced Nusselt number at different pertinent parameters. Results shown that the rate of heat transfer is higher in Al50Cu50-water nanofluid when compared with Cu-water nanofluid.
