A generalized findings on thermal radiation and heat generation/absorption in nanofluid flow regime

This paper is about Newtonian nanofluid flow manifested with thermal radiation and heat generation/absorption. Further, the study of interest are mixed convection, stagnation point, magnetic field, Joule heating, temperature stratification, concentration stratification and chemical reaction. The flow field is caused by the inclined stretching cylinder. The mathematical model is developed in the form of coupled partial differential framework and is later on, descend to coupled ordinary differential framework by means of admissible similarity transformation. The numerical findings are presented by Runge-Kutta Fehlberg method along with shooting scheme. The temperature trend towards higher values of heat generation enhances whereas the reverse trend is observed for heat absorption. The fluid temperature depicts the uplift for thermal radiation. The approximations for skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number are also examined. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
