Abstract
This communication explores simultaneous impact of Joule heating and viscous dissipation in radiative flow of viscous fluid by a stretching cylinder. The thermal characteristics of nanofluids are explored using copper and silver nanoparticles. Homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions are accounted. Statistical declaration and probable error for skin friction and Nusselt number are computed. The nonlinear differential systems are solved using Euler's Explicit Method (EEM). The effects of emerging variables for velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction and Nusselt number are examined extensively. It is noticed that the magnetic parameter decays the fluid velocity for copper-water and silver-water nanomaterials. Radiative heat transfer and viscous dissipation lead to an increase in the fluid temperature and thermal boundary layer thickness.
