Abstract

We have investigated a two dimensional steady flow on a continuously moving surface with effects of chemical reaction and heat source. In this problem, the nanofluid model includes with Brownian and thermophoresis effects. A mathematical formulation has designed for momentum, temperature and nanofluid solid volume profiles. The coupled partial differential equations are solved using the Nactsheim-Swigert shooting technique with the six order Runge-Kutta iteration Method. The results for the dimensionless velocity, temperature, and nanofluid solid volume profiles are discussed with the help of graphs. Various parameter values Nusselt number, skin friction coefficient are derived with thermophoresis parameter, magnetic parameter, Eckert number, Levis number, Chemical reaction parameter and heat generating absorption parameter and discussed with values.
