Influence of Joule heating and Partial Slip on Casson Nanofluid Transport Past a Nonlinear Stretching Planar Sheet

Abstract

In the present study, an electrically conducting Casson nanofluid flow along with heat and mass transport phenomenon towards the horizontally placed nonlinearly stretching sheet with the Joule heating, viscous dissipation and partial slip effects are examined. The mathematical formulation of the governing physical flow problem is carried out in Cartesian coordinate system. The nonlinear coupled differential equations are reduced to non-dimensional form by opting suitable transformations. Numerical procedure of shooting method is employed to attain approximate solutions. The effect of emerging physical parameters on velocity, temperature, and concentration fields are explored graphically. Moreover, the magnitude of shear stress, heat and mass fluxes are also computed at the surface. The key finding includes: prominent temperature drops for Casson nanofluid in comparison with nanofluid.
