Abstract | ||||
In this paper, the heat and mass transfer of an electrically conducting incompressible nanofluid over a heated stretching sheet with convective boundary condition is investigated. The transport model includes the effect of Brownian motion with thermophoresis in the presence of thermal radiation, chemical reaction and magnetic field. Lie group transformations are applied to the governing equations. The transformed ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by employing Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method with shooting technique. Numerical results for temperature and concentration profiles as well as wall heat and mass flux are elucidated through graphs and tables. | ||||
