Abstract

This topic addresses the influence of binary chemical reaction and activation energy in hydromagnetic flow of third grade nanofluid associated with convective conditions. Flow is developed through nonlinearly stretched surface. Nanoparticles concentration and temperature profiles are considered in the presence of Brownian dispersion and thermophoresis effects. Third grade liquid is electrically conducted via uniform applied magnetic field. Assumption of boundary layer has been used in the problem development. Governing differential systems have been computed in frame of NDsolve. The graphical illustrations explore influences of various sundry variables. Further surface drag force, heat and mass transfer rate are sketched and analyzed. Temperature and concentration distributions are declared increasing functions of Hartman number while reverse trend is seen for velocity distribution. Furthermore an enhancement is observed in temperature and concentration distributions for the higher values of thermal and concentration Biot numbers respectively.
