Numerical Analysis for Effect of Newtonian Heating Condition on MHD Flow of Cu-water Nanofluid Past a Flat Plat

Abstract

Present analysis involves behavior of MHD flow of Cu- water nanofluid in the presence of Newtonian heating impact towards a flat surface. Convenient transformations are used to alter the leading partial differential equations into a set of ordinary differential equations. An effective numerical approach as Runge-Kutta fourth order method is applied to solve the governing equations alongside shooting technique. Fluid flow and fluid temperature studied in graphical form for impacts of solid volume fraction, magnetic parameter and local Biot number. Additionally, local skin friction and local Nusselt number are derived via table for effects of pertinent parameters.
