Abstract
Abstract In this article, the impacts of Hall current and Arrhenius activation energy on three-dimensional hydromagnetic Williamson nanofluid flow past a slendering stretching sheet in the presence of multiple slips, viscous dissipation, Joule heating and binary chemical reaction is analyzed. The presence of nonlinear thermal radiation and nonlinear mixed convection is also taken into consideration. The dimensional governing equations are transformed into non-dimensional ordinary differential equations by using some suitable similarity transformation. The resulting coupled and highly nonlinear boundary value problem is then solved numerically by shooting technique based on Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method. The behaviors of concentration, temperature and velocity distributions w.r.t. the various controlling parameters are illustrated graphically. However, the numerical values of local skin-friction coefficients, local heat and mass transfer rates are explained and presented in tabular form. Furthermore, a result validation is performed to check the accuracy and correctness of the obtained results by comparing the results with previously published results for some limited case of the present problem and an excellent agreement is found between the results.
