Abstract In this article, the heat, momentum and mass (species) transfer in external boundary layer flow of Casson nanofluid from an isothermal sphere surface
is studied theoretically. The effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis are incorporated in the model in the presence of both heat and nanoparticle
mass transfer. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) are transformed into highly nonlinear, coupled, multi-degree non-similar partial
differential equations consisting of the momentum, energy and concentration equations via appropriate non-similarity transformations. These
transformed conservation equations are solved subject to appropriate boundary conditions with a second order accurate finite difference method of the
implicit type.… More >
