Effects of Chemical Reaction and Heat Source/Sink on MHD Boundary Layer Nanofluid Flow and Heat Transfer Over a Nonlinear Stretching Sheet

In this paper, an investigation is made to study of MHD boundary layer flow and heat transfer of nanofluids over a nonlinearly stretching sheet with the effects of Chemical reaction and heat source/sink. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using suitable similarity transformations. The transformed equations are then solved numerically using the well-known explicit finite difference scheme known as the Keller Box method. A detailed parametric study is performed to access the influence of the physical parameters on velocity, temperature and nanoparticle concentration, fraction profiles as well as the local skin-friction coefficient, local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood number and then, the results is presented in both graphical and tabular forms.
