Abstract
This paper examines the approximate solution of the three-dimensional nanofluid flow. The viscous dissipation and non-uniform heat source are accounted for in the energy equation over the stretching sheet. The numerical solutions of the governing partial differential equation are solved using spectral quasi-linearization method (SQLM). The nonlinear differential equations are obtained from the ordinary differential equations using suitable similarity transformation. A comparison between the obtained results with solutions obtained early in the literature and the numerical solution has been made to test the validity, accuracy, and convergence of the SQLM. Physical parameters on the velocity, temperature, and concentration are determined and discussed. The thermophoresis parameter greatly influenced concentration level with nanofluid flow across the stretching surface with a high Schmidt number.
