Abstract:
The steady laminar incompressible viscous magneto hydrodynamic boundary layer flow of an Eyring- Powell fluid over a nonlinear stretching flat surface in a nanofluid with slip condition and heat transfer through melting effect has been investigated numerically. The resulting nonlinear governing partial differential equations with associated boundary conditions of the problem have been formulated and transformed into a non-similar form. ; The resultant equations are then solved numerically using the Runge-Kutta fourth order method along with the shooting technique. The physical significance of different parameters on the velocity, temperature and nanoparticle volume fraction profiles is discussed through graphical illustrations. The impact of physical parameters on the local skin friction coefficient and rate of heat transfer is shown in tabulated form.
