Abstract

In the current study, we focused on the shape effects of copper (Cu) nano-particles on heat transmission of three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) nano-fluid. A particular type of flow is considered, i.e., rotating flow over an exponentially stretching sheet. Significant actions of thermal radiation and Grashof number are also formulated to study. The modified Chebyshev wavelets method is introduced to examine the numerical solutions of the accomplished model. Error analysis and further comparison with existing results reflect the appropriateness of the proposed modification. Graphical behavior of dimensionless velocities, temperature, Nusselt number, and skin friction under the inspiration of several parameters is also presented. The attained solutions propose that the modification is beneficial and can be protracted to other highly nonlinear problems. The modified Chebyshev wavelets technique lowers computing time, according to the study. The research takes into account the form impacts of nano-particles. There are three kinds of nano-particles to examine (spherical, laminar, and cylinder). The behavior of various particles varies depending on the flow and temperature profile. For microparticles with a laminar structure, velocity and temperature have higher values.
