Numerical simulation for magneto Carreau nanofluid model with thermal radiation: A revised model

Abstract The present work explores the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of Carreau nanoliquid by exponentially convected stretchable surface. Formulation and computations are presented for Brownian motion and thermophoresis. Concentration by zero mass condition is reported. Consideration of thermal radiation characterizes the heat transfer process. Transformation procedure is utilized for reduction of PDEs into ODEs. Highly nonlinear complex problems are computed numerically through Runge–Kutta Fehlberg technique. Salient characteristics of local Weissenberg number,  Hartman number, Biot number, thermophoresis parameter, Prandtl number, thermal radiation parameter and Schmidt number on the velocity, temperature, nanoparticles concentration, surface drag force and Nusselt number are reported through graphs and Tables. The results demonstrated here reveal that the velocity distribution for local Weissenberg number in case of shear thinning liquid reduces whereas it increments for shear thickening liquid. Temperature and thermal layer thickness are increasing functions of thermal radiation. Besides this the results of presented analysis are compared with the available works in particular situations and reasonable agreement is noted.
