Abstract:
This study focuses on analyzing the response of a magnetohydrodynamic convective Carreau nanofluid flow over a bilateral nonlinear stretching sheet in the presence of a heat source and zero mass flux condition. The problem has been solved numerically using the MATLAB built-in function bvp5c. The findings of velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles based on the various parameters are illustrated using graphs. The impact of various parameters on the heat transfer rate is scrutinized using statistical techniques, like, correlation coefficient, probable error, and regression. The effect of various parameters on skin friction coefficients is studied via tables and slope of linear regression. It is observed that the statistical results coincide with the numerical results. It is also noticed that the stretching ratio parameter increases the Y-directional velocity profile. Accuracy of the numerical procedure has been validated through a restrictive comparison of the present work with previous published results and is found to be in good agreement.
