Abstract
•Velocity profile is a increasing function of curvature parameter.•Velocity profile is a decreasing function of volume fraction, porosity parameter and Hartman number.•Temperature profile enhances for curvature and radiation parameter.•Skin friction coefficient decreases for positive values of volume fraction and Hartman number.•Heat transfer rate increases for thermal Biot number.
Present work is devoted to convective flow of ferrofluid due to non linear stretching curved sheet. Electrically conducting fluid is considered in the presence of uniform magnetic field. Nanofluid comprises water and magnetite-Fe3O4 as nanoparticles. Thermal radiation and heat generation/absorption are explained. Homotopy concept is utilized for the development of solutions. Highly nonlinear partial differential systems are reduced into the nonlinear ordinary differential system. Impact of non-dimensional radius of curvature and power law index on the physical quantities like fluid pressure, velocity and temperature field are examined. Computations for surface shear stress and heat transfer rate also analyzed.
