摘要
The present investigation reveals the effect of variable thickness on the steady two-dimensional boundary layer flows of a TiO2-water and Ag-water nanofluid through a slendering stretching sheet. The whole analysis has been performed in the presence of variable magnetic field and variable surface temperature. Similarity transformation has been introduced to renovate the non-linear partial differential equations into ordinary ones and then they were solved using the innovative technique of Natural decomposition method (NDM). The influence of pertinent parameters on velocity and temperature distribution has been illustrated by means of graphs and tables approach. Our analysis conveys that the temperature of the nanofluid reduces due to enhancing of the variable thickness parameter. The rate of heat transfer is significantly reduced for the Ag-water nanofluid with the positive impact of nanoparticle volume fraction.
