Abstract

Here modeling and analysis are developed to characterize the boundary layer flow of Burgers nanofluid in the presence of Robin's type condition at the stretching surface. Considered nanofluid model consists of Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects. The flow analysis is considered under the action of applied magnetic field. Similarity variables are selected to convert the dimensional nonlinear equations into dimensionless expressions. The governing dimensionless problems are solved through the implementation of homotopic procedure. The variations in dimensionless temperature and nanoparticle concentration profiles corresponding to embedded physical parameters are displayed and evaluated. The physical quantities of interest are examined through numerical data for various values of thermophoresis, Brownian motion, Prandtl number, Schmidt number and Biot numbers. Comparison of f′′(0) and θ(0) in a limiting case is presented for the verification of present derived solutions.
