Abstract
Nanomaterial is a new kind of heat transport medium, comprising nanoparticles (1–100 nm) which are homogeneously and stably dispersed in continuous phase liquid. These dispersed nanoparticles, generally a metal or metal oxide significantly improve the thermal performance of the nanomaterial, enhances convection and conduction coefficients, allowing for more heat transport. The current communication models the flow of Jeffrey nanomaterial subject to variable thicked surface. The surface is convectively heated. Joule heating, convective boundary conditions and nonlinear radiative heat flux are taken into account. Equal strengths of diffusion coefficients are considered for homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions. Boundary layer concept leads to mathematical modeling. Suitable transformations are implemented to convert the nonlinear systems to ordinary ones. Series solutions are achieved through the HAM technique. Physical importance of emerging parameters is addressed through graphical sketch. We explored that temperature is increased for higher values of radiative heat flux and Eckert number.
