Abstract
This research reports the thermo-solutal mixed convective non-Newtonian (tangenthyperbolic) fluid flow from a stretchable surface under the effect of viscous dissipation. Impermeable surface with stratifications (thermal and solutal) creates the flow. The Buongiorno nanoliquid model capturing Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis is opted for analysis. Energy expression modeling is based on heat source/sink and thermal radiation. Consideration of chemical reaction accounts for species concentration. Via relevant transformations, the flow model of nonlinear governing partial differential conservation equations and free-stream boundary conditions are extracted into coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations which are solved analytically using homotopy technique. Comparative results ensuring the soundness of the employed technique are included. Analytical results are presented graphically for the influence of pertinent parameters on velocity, temperature, skin-friction coefficient, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers. The obtained outcomes witness that the concentration of nanoparticles is increased with stronger values of thermophoresis and concentration Biot number while it declines with increasing values of solutal stratification variable, Brownian motion and Schmidt number.
