This study examines the behavior of magnetohydrodynamic Williamson nanofluid flow and heat transfer over a non-linear stretching sheet embedded in a porous medium. The influence of heat generation and viscous dissipation is taken into account. Through numerical calculations and physical reasoning, the distributions of velocity, temperature, and concentration are obtained and validated against existing solutions.
The present study is carried out to examine the behavior of magnetohydrodynamic Williamson nanofluid flow and heat transfer over a non-linear stretching sheet embedded in a porous medium. In the current work, the influence of heat generation and viscous dissipation has been taken into account. The considered phenomenon in the form of partial differential equations is transformed into ordinary differential equations by utilizing an appropriate similarity transformation. The reduced form is solved by using rigorous MATLAB built-in solver bvp4c. The numerical solutions for the velocity field, temperature field, and mass concentration along with the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are computed. The obtained solutions are shown in graphs and are discussed with physical reasoning. It is noted that by increasing Williamson fluid parameter W, the velocity decreases and concentration profile increases. It is deduced that increasing Eckert number Ec leads to a rise in temperature and mass concentration. It has been viewed that with the increment in heat generation parameter Q, the temperature field increases and concentration decreases. The results show that an increasing magnetic field parameter M leaves a decreasing trend in the velocity field and an increasing trend in the temperature field and concentration profile. The present results are compared with the existing solution which shows good agreement and endorses the validation of current solutions.
