Mixed convection flow of MHD Eyring-Powell nanofluid over a stretching sheet: A numerical study

In the present analysis incompressible two dimensional mixed convection flow of MHD Eyring-Powell nanofluid over a stretching sheet is investigated numerically. The governing highly nonlinear partial differential equations are converted into ordinary differential equations by using a similarity approach. Numerical solutions of the nonlinear ordinary differential equations are found by using a shooting method. Effects of various parameters are displayed graphically for velocity, temperature and concentration profiles. Also quantities of practical interest i. e skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are presented graphically and tabularly. (C) 2015 Author(s).
