Abstract This article presents the effect of nonlinear thermal radiation on boundary layer flow and heat transfer of Carreau fluid model over a nonlinear stretching
sheet embedded in a porous medium in the presence of non-uniform heat source/sink and viscous dissipation with convective boundary condition. The
governing partial differential equations with the corresponding boundary conditions are reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations using
similarity transformation, which is then solved numerically by the fourth-fifth order Runge–Kutta-Fehlberg integration scheme featuring a shooting
technique. The influence of significant parameters such as power law index parameter, Stretching parameter, Weissenberg number, permeability
parameter, temperature… More >
