Abstract
In the current study, we have scrutinized the sway of non-linear thermal radiation and Biot number on boundary layer flow along a continuously moving thin needle filled with carbon based nanotubes by considering water as regular fluid. The main system of partial differential equations is first reduced to the system of ordinary non-linear differential equations with the help of similarity conversion technique. The transmuted boundary layer ordinary differential equations are answered numerically by implementing Finite element scheme. The influence of pertinent constraints involved on heat, hydro-dynamic and solutal boundary layers are analysed in depth and the outcomes are revealed through plots. Moreover, the effect of these parameters on the values of Sherwood number, Nusselt number and skin-friction coefficient is also inspected and the results are exposed through tables. It is seen that velocity sketches depreciates with improving values of size of the needle parameter.
