Numerical approach to non-Newtonian fluid flow over a nonlinear elongating sheet with activation energy

ABSTRACTA numerical study of Casson nanofluid flow across a stretching sheet with an activation energy induced chemical reaction is conducted. Fluid flow is simulated by a set of governing boundary layer equations which are expressed as partial differential equations. Similarity transforms are employed to obtain ordinary differential equations and then solved by MATLAB built inmodule bvp4c. Effect of different flow parameters are explored through velocity, heat and mass distributions. Impact of physical quantities such as local Nusselt number and surface drag coefficient are computed. Some of the important outcomes of this numerical investigation concludes that heat transfer rate suppresses for activation energy parameter and mass transferrate enhanced with binary chemical reaction.
