Abstract
An analysis has been executed to investigate the generalized slip effects on MHD Carreau nanofluid induced by a linear stretching cylinder in the presence of reactive species. Adequate transformations are used to rehabilitate the system of partial differential equations into system of non-linear ordinary differential equations. Similarity equations are then solved numerically by using an implicit finite difference scheme known as Keller box method. The interesting findings for various crucial parameters on dimensionless velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are demonstrated through graphs. Plots and tables reflecting the impact on skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number are presented and explored. Comparison has been validated with the prior published results and found to be in commendable agreement. (C) 2017 Published by Elsevier B.V.
