Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the Eyring Powell fluid over an exponentially stretching surface. Heat and mass transfer effects are taken into account with nanoparticles.
Design/methodology/approach
Appropriate transformations are employed to reduce the boundary layer partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. Series solutions of the problem are obtained and impacts of physical parameters on the velocities, temperature and concentration profiles are discussed.
Findings
Numerical values of local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers for all the involved physical parameters are computed and analyzed. A comparative study between the present and previous results is made in a limiting sense. Local Nusselt number −′(0) increases by increasing ε, Pr, λ and N while it decreases for δ, N_{t{, N_{b} and Sc.
Originality/value
This analysis has not been discussed in the literature yet.
