Abstract
Thermodynamical attributes of non-Newtonian fluids over stretched surfaces have gained pervasive essence due to extensive utilization in extruding plastic sheet procedures, liquid film condensation, glass blowing, paper production, biopolymer cylinder coatings, and so forth. So, currently communication is aimed to candidly explicate flow characteristic of Prandtl fluid generated by axial stretching of cylindrical surface. Mathematical modelling by using conservation laws of momentum, energy and concentration fields containing the aspects of magnetic field, convective heating, and chemical reaction are presented initially in the form of partial differential expressions. Later on, these attained PDEs are transmuted into nonlinear ordinary differential equations with implementation of similarity variables. Numerical approach renowned as shooting technique with improved coefficient of the Runge-Kutta (R-K) method by Cash and Karp is used to access accurate solution. Linear curved fitting analysis is also performed to analyze results. Influence of flow-controlling parameters on associated profiles is revealed through graphical visualization. Stream line plots representing flow behavior of Prandtl fluid versus different magnitudes of the curvature parameter are adorned. Variation in friction drag force at wall, heat flux, and concentration gradient are evaluated through numerical data and with interpolation of linear curved fittings. It is deduced from results that increasing curvature parameter momentum and temperature distributions enriches whereas skin-friction coefficient depicts reverse pattern. It is also inferred that temperature shows incrementing deviation in the absence of chemical reaction whereas concentration profiles exhibit reduction with consideration of influence of chemical reaction parameter. Magnetic field tends to reduce the velocity and create thinness of boundary layer thickness.
