Abstract

In this attempt, we scrutinize the effects of Sutterby nanoliquid flow deformed by a linearlystretchable sheet. Inclined magnetic field is included to explore the features of electricallyconducting fluid. Thermal stratification phenomenon is implemented over a horizontalsheet to elaborate the features of heat transfer. Variable fluid feature is also accounted. Zeromass flux condition is incorporated along with Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis phe-nomenon Using the suitable transformations, the system of partial differential equationsare transmuted into coupled system of ordinary differential equations. Approximate ana-lytical solutions are computed via homotopic approach. Graphical behavior of applicableparameters on temperature, velocity, and concentration fields are illustrated and elaborated.Skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are computed and analyzed. It is found thatincrease in fluid parameter declines the velocity field whereas temperature field rises forhigher thermal conductivity parameter. Heat transfer rate decays for thermal stratificationphenomenon. The current attempt is incorporated in diverse processes of industry and engineering including cooling and heating processes in solar water heater, building insulation,electronics, turbines, transportation, power generation, geothermal systems, and engines.Moreover, Sutterby model predicts the characteristics of pseudo-plastic and dilatant fluids.This model is very useful for high polymer solutions and polymer melts which are important industrial materials. Owing by such applications, the present examination has been established.
