Abstract

The combined impact of solar radiation, chemical reaction, Joule heating, viscous dissipation and magnetic field on flow of an electrically conducting nanofluid over a convectively heated stretching sheet embedded in a saturated porous medium is simulated. By using appropriate similarity transformation, the governing nonlinear equations are converted into ODEs and numerical shooting technique with (RK45) method is employed to tackle the problem. The effects of various thermo-physical parameters on the entire flow structure with heat and mass transfer are presented graphically and discussed quantitatively. Special cases of our results are benchmarked with some of those obtained earlier in the literature and are found to be in excellent agreement. It is found that both the temperature and surface concentration gradients are increasing functions of the non-Darcy porous medium parameter. One describing result is the incident solar radiation absorption and its transmission into the working nanofluid by convection.
