A revised model for stretched flow of third grade fluid subject to magneto nanoparticles and convective condition

•Boundary layer flow of third-grade nanofluid is constructed.•Flow is bounded by a linear stretching surface.•Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects are considered.•Thermal convective and zero nanoparticles mass flux conditions are utilized.•Computations and analysis are made through homotopy analysis method (HAM).

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stretched flow of third-grade nanofluid with convective surface condition is examined. Third-grade fluid is electrically conducting subject to uniform magnetic field. Aspects of Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis have been accounted. Newly suggested condition for zero nanoparticles mass flux is employed. Proper transformations are utilized to convert the partial differential system (PDE) into the non-linear ordinary differential system (ODE). The resulting nonlinear system is solved for the series solutions of velocity, temperature and concentration distributions. Convergence of the developed solutions is verified explicitly through tables and plots. Consequences of various influential variables on the non-dimensional temperature and concentration distributions are interpreted graphically. Skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number are analyzed through plots and numerical data.
