Abstract:
Nowadays graphene is emanating as one of the most encouraging nano-material due to its continuous electrical conducting behavior even at zero carrier concentration. keeping this in mind, present article is a numerical investigation of flow and heat transfer of liquid film flow of magnetic nano fluid towards an extending surface under the influence of applied uniform magnetic field along with non-uniform internal heat generation/ absorption and thermal radiation. Water and mixture of water and ethylene glycol are taken as the base fluids. Moreover, variable viscosity and variable thermal conductivity effects are incorporated for realistic analysis. By means of similarity analysis system of governing equations are simplified to nonlinear system of differential equations which is tackled numerically. Effect of pertinent parameters are examined through graphs and tables.
