摘要

This article examines a mathematical model to analyze the rotating flow of three-dimensional water based nanofluid over a convectively heated exponentially stretching sheet in the presence of transverse magnetic field with additional effects of thermal radiation,Joule heating and viscous dissipation.Silver (Ag),copper (Cu),copper oxide (CuO),aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) have been taken under consideration as the nanoparticles and water (H2O) as the base fluid.Using suitable similarity transformations,the governing partial differential equations (PDEs) of the modeled problem are transformed to the ordinary differential equations (ODEs).These ODEs are then solved numerically by applying the shooting method.For the particular situation,the results are compared with the available literature.The effects of different nanoparticles on the temperature distribution are also discussed graphically and numerically.It is witnessed that the skin friction coefficient is maximum for silver based nanofluid.Also,the velocity profile is found to diminish for the increasing values of the magnetic parameter.
