Radiation and Chemical Reaction Effects on MHD Nanofluid Flow over a Continuously Moving Surface in Porous Medium with Non-Uniform Heat Source/Sink

Abstract

In this study we analyzed the influence of radiation and chemical reaction on MHD nanofluid flow over a continuously moving surface in porous medium in presence of non-uniform heat source/sink. The governing equations are transformed into system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation and solved numerically using bvp5c Matlab package. The effects of non-dimensional governing parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are discussed and presented with help graphs. Also, friction factor, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are calculated and presented through tables. Comparisons of the present results made with the existed studies. Preset results have an excellent agreement with the existed studies under some special conditions.
