Radiation, absorption, and Joule heating Influence on MHD Casson fluid flow over an exponentially stretching surface

Abstract

This work investigates the MHD convective flow through the boundary layer of a Casson nanofluid over an exponentially inclined porous stretched surface in the occurrence of radiation, absorption, and Joule heating. The proper conversions transform the PDEs that specify flow into a series of nonlinear ODEs. The MATLAB in-built solver bvp4c helps one to solve the problem. Graphical findings also show for non-dimensional profiles. For various values of parameters controlling the flow system, the numerical values of the Sherwood number and Nusselt number, friction factor are shown in tabular form. A comparison table is used to confirm the acquired findings.
