Abstract

This research investigates the flow of a Powell-Eyring Nanofluid flowing over an exponentially stretching sheet. Thermal radiation, Soret, dissipation, and Dufour effects have been put into consideration. The obtained partial differential equations(PDE) have been transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODE) using similarity transformation. Numerical solutions are obtained in MATLAB using bvp4c frame work of fourth order accuracy integration scheme. It has been observed that the boundary layer for momentum increases with the velocity ratio while the boundary layers for thermal and concentration decrease. The velocity diminishes with increasing magnetic parameter while the temperature and concentration increased. The temperature increases with an increase in thermophoresis and Brownian motion. Increasing the fluid parameter resulted in decreased Nusselt number, skin friction, and Sherwood number. Increasing Powell-Eyring fluid parameter decreases the Nusselt number and Sherwood number but increases skin friction. This research may find use in the development of microelectronics, chemical processes, human targeted drug delivery, and heating and cooling system.
