Influence of convective heat and mass conditions in MHD flow of nanofluid

Abstract

This article aims to investigate the two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow of nanofluid. Convective mass condition is introduced. Analysis has been discussed in the presence of an applied magnetic field. The Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects are incorporated. The arising nonlinear problems are first converted to ordinary differential equations and then series solutions are constructed. Convergence of series solutions is examined through plots and numerical values. Results are plotted and discussed for the temperature and concentration. Numerical computations for skin-friction coefficient, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are performed and analyzed. Comparison with the previous limiting case is noted in an excellent agreement.
