Suction impact on Eyring Powell nanofluid flow over an electromagnetic medium with Joule heating

Abstract

The current study has addressed numerically the importance of blowing and suction outcomes on Eyring-Powell nanofluid flow over an electromagnetic surface with heat generation, activation energy and Joule heating. Through the use of similarity conversions, the governing equations are changed to the level of a collection of nonlinear ODEs. In order to solve the nondimensional ODEs under physically realistic boundary circumstances, the bvp4c variational method has been used. The flow velocity computed numerically compares well to the precise solution presented in the literature. The results of numerical calculations have made this very evident. The graphical patterns were displayed to explore the effects of near-surface tangible parameters and engineering factors on the significant physical flow features. The results indicate that the velocity of the nanofluid decreases as the suction and magnetic parameters rise in value. A comparison is made between the current findings and the results that have been obtained in the past, and it is discovered that there is a good agreement between the results.
