In this article, the presented study is based on a modification in Gegenbauer wavelets method. The modeled problem is presented to analyze the phenomena of transfer of heat of rotating nanofluids in which the flow is produced by an exponentially stretching sheet. The purpose of this study is to examine the simultaneous effects of rotation of nanofluid and exponentially stretching on the shear stresses and heat transfer rate, cooling proficiency of water-based nanofluids containing Ag, Cu, Al2O3, TiO2, and CuO nanoparticles, and modification in Gegenbauer wavelets method to obtain the numerical solution of the said problem. A comparative analysis is presented among the outcomes obtained by modified Gegenbauer wavelets method, Runge–Kutta method of order-4, and already existing methods. The comparison shows that this modification is extremely efficient, and proposed technique could be extended for other physical problems.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyze the Eyring Powell fluid over an exponentially stretching surface. Heat and mass transfer effects are taken into account with nanoparticles. Design/methodology/approach – Appropriate transformations are employed to reduce the boundary layer partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. Series solutions of the problem are obtained and impacts of physical parameters on the velocities, temperature and concentration profiles are discussed. Findings – Numerical values of local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers for all the involved physical parameters are computed and analyzed. A comparative study between the present and previous results is made in a limiting sense. Local Nusselt number −′(0) increases by increasing ε, Pr, λ and N while it decreases for δ, N_{t{, N_{b} and Sc. Originality/value – This analysis has not been discussed in the literature yet.

Heat and mass transfer of the MHD flow of Casson nanofluid by an exponential stretching sheet discussed in this analysis. The MHD with joule heating effects for Casson nanofluid numerically investigated. To characterize the transport property of heat and mass, we considered the thermophoresis and Brownian effect along with thermal radiation and thermophoretic effects. Additionally, we consider the microorganism theory to analyze the suspended nanoparticles by bio-convection. The mathematical model developed on the base of boundary layer flow of casson nanofluid at exponentially stretching surface in term of partial differential equations. The partial differential equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations by means of similarity variable transformations. The non-dimensionalized differential equations have numerically tackled by using the Bvp4c MATLAB technique. The graphical outcomes are obtained against the various parameters. Moreover, physical quantities are examined graphically and tabulating data. It is reviewed that resistance of fluid flow improves by the higher estimation of the Casson fluid parameter. Therefore, the axial and transverse velocities are reduced. Further, it is noticed from the tabulated data that more vital values of the Casson fluid parameter diminishes the skin friction and mass transfer rate but enhances the heat transfer rate.

Purpose In this communication, a theoretical simulation is aimed to characterize the Darcy–Forchheimer flow of a magneto-couple stress fluid over an inclined exponentially stretching sheet. Stokes’ couple stress model is deployed to simulate non-Newtonian microstructural characteristics. Two different kinds of thermal boundary conditions, namely, the prescribed exponential order surface temperature (PEST) and prescribed exponential order heat flux, are considered in the heat transfer analysis. Joule heating (Ohmic dissipation), viscous dissipation and heat source/sink impacts are also included in the energy equation because these phenomena arise frequently in magnetic materials processing. Design/methodology/approach The governing partial differential equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by adopting suitable similar transformations. The resulting system of nonlinear ODEs is tackled numerically by using the Runge–Kutta fourth (RK4)-order numerical integration scheme based on the shooting technique. The impacts of sundry parameters on stream function, velocity and temperature profiles are viewed with the help of graphical illustrations. For engineering interests, the physical implication of the said parameters on skin friction coefficient, Nussult number and surface temperature are discussed numerically through tables. Findings As a key outcome, it is noted that the augmented Chandrasekhar number, porosity parameter and Forchhemeir parameter diminish the stream function as well as the velocity profile. The behavior of the Darcian drag force is similar to the magnetic field on fluid flow. Temperature profiles are generally upsurged with the greater magnetic field, couple stress parameter and porosity parameter, and are consistently higher for the PEST case. Practical implications The findings obtained from this analysis can be applied in magnetic material processing, metallurgy, casting, filtration of liquid metals, gas-cleaning filtration, cooling of metallic sheets, petroleum industries, geothermal operations, boundary layer resistors in aerodynamics, etc. Originality/value From the literature review, it has been found that the Darcy–Forchheimer flow of a magneto-couple stress fluid over an inclined exponentially stretching surface with heat flux conditions is still scarce. The numerical data of the present results are validated with the already existing studies under limited cases and inferred to have good concord.
