Abstract
This paper explores the effects of thermal radiation, buoyancy force, chemical reaction, and activation energy on magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) nanofluid flow past a stretching vertical surface. The non-linear momentum, energy, solute, and nanoparticle concentration boundary layer equations are simplified using similarity transformations. The transformed equations are numerically solved using the shooting technique. Corresponding results for dimensionless velocity, temperature, solute, nanoparticle concentration profiles, skin friction, local Nusselt number, local Sherwood number, and local nanoparticle Sherwood number are shown for various related parameters. It is observed that the temperature and concentration profiles of nanoparticles increased with the increase in the parameters of thermal radiation and the temperature difference. With increasing regular buoyancy parameters, the local Nusselt number decreased by increasing the adaptation rate, the Biot number, and the thermal radiation parameters.
