Abstract

Main objective of present analysis is to study the MHD mixed convection flow of nanofluid due to a curved stretching sheet. Water based nanofluid comprising copper and silver as nanoparticles is used. Heat transfer analysis is carried out in the presence of Joule heating and nonlinear thermal radiation. Similarity transformations are used to obtain the system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Convergent series solutions are obtained. Effects of different variables on velocity and temperature are examined. Skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are examined and analyzed for the influence of different involved parameters.
