Abstract
The effect of nanoparticles on a three-dimensional flow of Eyring-Powell fluid over an unsteady stretching sheet with convective boundary condition is numerically investigated. The effects of MHD, thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and Joule heating are taken into account. Further, Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects are introduced by means of Buongiorno nanofluid model. Numerical solution is obtained using Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method of order 45 with Shooting technique. Obtained results are compared with existing results in a limiting sense and found to be an excellent agreement. In addition, the effects of influential factors, such as Brownian motion parameter, thermophoresis parameter, Lewis, Biot’s, Eckert and Prandtl numbers, radiation parameter, unsteady parameter, stretching ratio parameter, magnetic parameter on velocities, temperature and nanoparticles concentration fields are studied and discussed in detail. Further, physical quantities of engineering interest such as the Nusselt number and Sherwood number are examined via graphs and tables.
