Heat Transfer of Nanofluid Past an Exponentially Permeable Stretching Sheet with Heat Generation and Newtonian Heating in a Porous Medium

Abstract

In present study, we have investigated the phenomenon of Newtonian heating under the application of uniform porous medium when heat generation and chemical reaction appears in the energy and volumetric species equations in the flow of a ní nofluid. The flow is induced by an exponentially permeable stretching sheet. The solutions of the nonlinear equations governing the velocɨty, temperature and ní noparticle volume fraction profiles are solved numerically using Runge-Kutta Gill procedure together with shooting method and graphical results for the resulting parameters are displayed and discussed. The influence of the physical parameters on skin-friction coefficient, local Nusselt number and ní noparticle Sherwood number are shown in a tabulated form.
