Effects of Heat Absorption and Chemical Reaction on MHD Nanofluid Flow and Heat Transfer Past a Stretching Sheet with Melting

Abstract

An investigation is made on a steady two dimensional boundary layer flow of a viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting, heat absorbing and chemically reacting nano-fluid over a stretching sheet, with melting, in the presence of an applied transverse magnetic field taking viscous and joule dissipations into account. Using adequate similarity transformations non-linear partial differential equations, governing to the problem, are transformed into non-linear ordinary differential equations and then solved using bvp4c (Matlabs boundary value problem solver). Numerical results of velocity  , temperature  , and species concentration   are depicted graphically. Numerical values of skin friction coefficient  , local Nusselt number  , local Sherwood number  are presented in tabular form
