This article explores the characteristics of physical model steady axisymmetric flow of cross-fluid over a stretching sheet numerically, including steady flow of nanofluid and features of thermal radiation and chemical reaction processes. It is found that magnetic field plays a vital role in controlling the flow of fluid and improving the performance of shear thickening fluids.
In this article, the characteristics of physical model steady axisymmetric flow of cross-fluid over a stretching sheet are explored numerically. Furthermore, steady flow of nanofluid is expressed by means of Buongiorno's model for nanoparticles. Moreover, the features of thermal radiation and chemical reaction processes with partial velocity slip condition are adopted here. Nonlinear PDEs are converted to ODEs using suitable transformation variables. The reduced systems of ODEs are resolved using an effective bvp4c scheme implemented. Numerical computation for physical parameters such as skin friction, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are also examined. Magnetic field plays a vital role in controlling the flow of fluid and has the tendency to enhance the thermal boundary layer and concentration. Similarly, skin friction, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers depreciate by improving the values of velocity slip parameter, magnetic parameter, magnetic parameter, thermophoresis parameter in shear thickening fluids.
