Abstract
The present work reveals the aspects of MHD Prandtl nanofluid flow under consideration of convective boundary condition over a stretched sheet. The current flow model of PDEs is transmuted to non-linear ODEs using similarity variables after which it is numerically treated by Runge–Kutta scheme clubbed with a shooting method. The physical virtues of flow restrictions B=M=1,Pr=Sc=2 and δ=R=λ=Nb=Nt=0.5,G=γ=−0.5,ϵ=0.1 on velocity, energy and concentration are discussed vividly. The flow geometry shows improvement in the velocity distribution for rising value of the fluid parameter, but decrement in energy and concentration distribution. Also, escalation of radiative parameter and Biot number creates an ample amount of energy into the system which increases fluid temperature. However, the concentration distribution diminishes as the chemical reaction parameter increases.
