Influence of thermal radiation and Joule heating in the Eyring–Powell fluid flow with the Soret and Dufour effects

Аннотация

A two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow of the Eyring–Powell fluid on a stretching surface in the presence of thermal radiation and Joule heating is analyzed. The Soret and Dufour effects are taken into account. Partial differential equations are reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations, and series solutions of the resulting system are derived. Velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are obtained. The skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are computed and analyzed.
