A Spectral Relaxation Approach for Boundary Layer Flow of Nanofluid Past an Exponentially Stretching Surface with Variable Suction in the Presence of Heat Source/Sink with Viscous Dissipation

The present examination is considered to discuss the steady, two-dimensional flow of heat and mass transfer of nanofluid flow along with the variable suction under the influence of heat source/sink alongside the viscous dissipation. Because of the stretchable surface, flow is generated. Spectral relaxation technique is used to acquire the numerical solution for the altered nonlinear group of differential equations. Thereafter, outcomes which were obtained from the above numerical technique are validated by comparing with the available outcomes in the existing literature and also with MATLAB inbuilt solver bvp4c. All the acquired results from the above numerical system are shown through graphs and tables to discuss different resulting parameters related to the present analysis. The range of the physical parameters is taken as -0.1 <= f(w) <= 0.5,0.1 <= Nt <= 0.7, 0.1 <= Nb <= 0.7, 0 <= Ec <= 1.2,-0.5 <= Q <= 0.5, 1 <= Pr <= 10,1 <= Le <= 5. The main findings are as follows: For the effect of suction parameter, the profiles of velocity, temperature and mass friction are decreased, and the coefficient of skin friction and Nusselt number is declined for the impact of thermophoresis parameter.

Automated summary

This study discusses the steady, two-dimensional heat and mass transfer of nanofluid flow with variable suction under the influence of heat source/sink and viscous dissipation. The numerical solution for the nonlinear differential equations is obtained using the spectral relaxation technique, and the results are validated through comparisons. Main findings include the decrease in velocity, temperature, and mass friction profiles with the suction parameter, and the decline of skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number with the thermophoresis parameter.
