| description | The studied problem focuses on the flow of Casson nanofluid induced by a stretched surface in the presence of a magnetic field and exposed to variable surface heat flux, with an emphasis on enhancing thermal efficiency. This research aims to highlight the flow of Casson nanofluid at the stagnation point on a stretching sheet, taking into account the influence of heat generation and variable thermal conductivity. The fluid being examined exhibits a steady-state two-dimensional flow. The formulation of the model involves deriving partial differential equations, which are later converted into ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. This particular research stands out by introducing an innovative mathematical model for Casson nanofluid, taking into account variable surface heat flux and covering several implications that have not been explored in current literature. We utilize the shooting method to compute numerical solutions for the formulated equations. Graphical representations are used to illustrate the numerical results for velocity, concentration, and temperature distribution. Furthermore, tabulated findings encompass the Sherwood number, skin friction coefficient, and local Nusselt number. A comparison with a previous study from the literature was conducted, demonstrating a robust agreement between our results and theirs. Several compelling findings indicate that the local Nusselt number rises as the velocity ratio parameter, suction parameter, thermal conductivity parameter, and heat flux exponent increase. Conversely, the Casson parameter, magnetic number, heat generation parameter, and thermophoresis parameter are observed to lower the local Nusselt number. |
