This work reports the Carreau–Yasuda nanofluid flow over a non-linearly stretching sheet viscous dissipation and chemical reaction effects. The coupled system of non-linear partial differential equations are changed into a system of linear differential equations employing similarity equations. The spectral quasi-linearization method was used to solve the linear differential equations numerically. Error norms were used to authenticate the accuracy and convergence of the numerical method. The effects of some thermophysical parameters of interest in this current study on the non-dimensional fluid velocity, concentration and temperature, the skin friction, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are presented graphically. Tables were used to depict the effects of selected parameters on the skin friction and the Nusselt number.

The impact of nonlinear thermal radiations rotating with the augmentation of heat transfer flow of time-dependent single-walled carbon nanotubes is investigated. Nanofluid flow is induced by a shrinking sheet within the rotating system. The impact of viscous dissipation is taken into account. Nanofluid flow is assumed to be electrically conducting. Similarity transformations are applied to transform PDEs (partial differential equations) into ODEs (ordinary differential equations). Transformed equations are solved by the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The radiative source term is involved in the energy equation. For entropy generation, the second law of thermodynamics is applied. The Bejan number represents the current investigation of non-dimensional entropy generation due to heat transfer and fluid friction. The results obtained indicate that the thickness of the boundary layer decreases for greater values of the rotation parameter. Moreover, the unsteadiness parameter decreases the temperature profile and increases the velocity field. Skin friction and the Nusselt number are also physically and numerically analyzed.
