MHD boundary layer flow of a nanofluid over an exponentially permeable stretching sheet with chemical reaction and activation energy

An analysis has been carried out to investigate MHD boundary layer flow of an electrically conducting nanofluid due to an exponentially permeable stretching sheet with chemical reaction and activation energy by employing suitable numerical technique. The equations of mass, momentum, energy and nanoparticle volume fraction governing the flow of the fluid are partial differential equations which are reduced to ordinary differential equations by means of similarity transformation. These equations are solved numerically using Method of line. The non-dimensional parameters such as Brownian motion parameter Nb, Thermophoresis parameter Nt, non-dimensional energy E, Prandtl number Pr, temperature difference parameter δ, dimensionless reaction rate σ and fitted rate constant n are analyzed for nanoparticle volume fraction profile and the numerical values presented graphically.
