Description
Summary:Present exploration discusses the combined effect of viscous dissipation and Joule heating on three dimensional flow and heat transfer of a Jeffrey nanofluid. Here the flow is generated over bidirectional stretching sheet in the presence of applied magnetic field by accounting thermophoresis and Brownian motion of nanoparticles. Using suitable similarity transformations, governing equations in partial form are reduced to ordinary differential equations. These equations are nonlinear in nature and thus solved numerically using Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method of fourth-fifth order using Shooting technique. Validation of current method is proved by comparing our results with the existing results under limiting situations. The effects of pertinent parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are depicted graphically with tabulated results and relevant discussions. For the combined effect of Joule and viscous heating a reduction in the interface heat transfer and increase in temperature profiles is observed.
