Description
Summary:This study investigates the mass transfer flow of Powell-Eyring fluid due to the porous stretching sheet with magnetic field. A second-order approximation of the Eyring-Powell fluid model is used to obtain the flow equations. Using usual similarity transformations, the governing equations have been transformed into non-linear ordinary differential equations and solved by a powerful technique known as shooting method along with R-K fourth order scheme. Graphical results displaying the influence of pertinent physical parameters on the velocity, concentration profile, skin-friction coefficient and Sherwood number are given.
