Abstract
This article addresses melting heat phenomenon for viscous fluid flow subjected to Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects over a curved stretching sheet. Darcy–Forchheimer theory is also under consideration. The derivation of the problem under the said assumptions is employed to obtain the partial differential equations by utilizing similarity transformations on system of ordinary differential equations. The formulated governing mathematical model is numerically solved via shooting technique. Outcomes are examined graphically in detail. Further the wall shear stress, wall heat and mass fluxes are evaluated numerically and analyzed. A significant reduction in nanofluid motion, temperature and concentration due to Darcy–Forchheimer porous medium as well as melting heat transmission phenomenon shows gradual rise in nanofluid motion, however, a reduction is observed in nanofluid temperature.
