Abstract
The present research explores the hydromagnetic (MHD) three-dimensional flow of non-Newtonian nanofluid due to an exponentially stretching surface. The flow is generated due to an exponentially stretching surface. Constitutive expressions of second grade fluid are employed in the mathematical formulation. Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects are considered. Fluid is electrically conducted in the presence of an applied magnetic field. The induced magnetic field is not considered subject to a low magnetic Reynolds number. Appropriate transformations yield the nonlinear ordinary differential systems. The resulting nonlinear systems are solved successfully. Impact reflecting the contributions of various interesting parameters entering into the problems is studied in detail. Skin friction coefficients and local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are also computed and analyzed. The present work is hoped to be useful in improving the performance of heat transfer of base fluid.
