Abstract

In this current study, we investigated the boundary layer steady nanofluid flow which is viscous. Utilizing the spectral quasi-linearization method (SQLM), the mathematical model has been solved. To analyze the convergence of the numerical method, we calculated the residual errors that are approximately less by [10-8 ]. The local Sherwood number, the coefficient of the rate of heat transfer, and the local drag force coefficient along with various flow parameters are analyzed numerically and graphically. The influence of thermophoresis and Brownian motion has also been discussed briefly.


Keywords: Brownian motion, Heat generation, Nanofluids, Thermophoresis.
