Abstract

This study models the convective flow of Prandtl-Eyring nanomaterials driven by a stretched surface. The model incorporates the significant aspects of activation energy, Joule heating and chemical reaction. The thermal impulses of particles with melting condition is addressed. The system of equations is an ordinary differential equation (ODE) system and is tackled numerically by utilizing the Lobatto IIIA computational solver. The physical importance of flow controlling variables to the temperature, velocity and concentration is analyzed using graphical illustrations. The skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are examined. The results of several scenarios, mesh-point utilization, the number of ODEs and boundary conditions evaluation are provided via tables.
