Abstract
•Statistical computations analysis of skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number with Cu and Ag nanoparticles is discussed.•Temperature rises more rapidly for Ag-water nanofluid when nanoparticles volume fraction is increased.•Temperature is discussed in the presence of Joule heating and viscous dissipation.•Ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by Euler’s Explicit method (EEM).
This communication explores simultaneous impact of Joule heating and viscous dissipation in radiative flow of viscous fluid by a stretching cylinder. The thermal characteristics of nanofluids are explored using copper and silver nanoparticles. Homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions are accounted. Statistical declaration and probable error for skin friction and Nusselt number are computed. The nonlinear differential systems are solved using Euler’s Explicit Method (EEM). The effects of emerging variables for velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction and Nusselt number are examined extensively. It is noticed that the magnetic parameter decays the fluid velocity for copper-water and silver-water nanomaterials. Radiative heat transfer and viscous dissipation lead to an increase in the fluid temperature and thermal boundary layer thickness.
