Abstract
Abstract The present model concentrates on three‐dimensional steady incompressible flow of an Eyring‐Powell nanofluid past an exponentially stretching sheet with magnetic field. The Cattaneo–Christov heat flux with convective boundary condition is accounted for. Shooting method is the instrumental for obtaining numerical solution of the transformed‐converted system of the mathematical models. Behavior of the determining thermo‐physical parameters on the velocity, temperature, skin friction, heat transfer rate, and finally isotherms are considered. The major relevant outcomes of the current investigation are that increment in Eyring‐Powell parameter uplifts flow velocity, while that peters out the fluid temperature. Enhanced values of the mixed convection parameter weakened the skin friction coefficient while it slightly strengthened the rate of heat transfer.
