Combined effects of viscous dissipation and Joule heating on MHD Sisko nanofluid over a stretching cylinder

A mathematical model is presented to discuss magnetohydrodynamic Sisko fluid flow over a stretching cylinder with cumulative effects of viscous dissipation and Joule heating in the presence of nanoparticles. The mathematical modelling of the physical problem produced nonlinear set of partial differential equations which are transfigured into simultaneous system of ordinary differential equations with appropriate boundary conditions via suitable scaling group of transforms. Shooting technique is used to solve nonlinear set of flow govern equations. Comparison of numerical solution is made with previously reported data to validate the accuracy. The influence of governing parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration is discussed under different parametric conditions. The numerically computed results are deliberated via graphs by selecting suitable values of the relevant physical parameters. Additionally to insight physical phenomenon in the vicinity of surface skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number are computed and explicated through tables as well as graphs.
