Abstract :
In this article, we have deliberate the impact of non-linear thermal radiation and non-uniform heat source/sink on MHD boundary layer flow of Williamson nanofluid above an inclined stretching surface. Using the similarity transformations, the governing PDE’s equations of this problem, are converted into ODE’S. The changed ODE’S with boundary conditions are solved numerically by using RK scheme with shooting technique. The effect of governing parameters on dimensionless flow distributions are plotted and examined. The Numerical outcomes for skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are tabulated for various values of physical parameters. It is obtained that temperature increases with enhance in non-uniform heat source and velocity profile diminishes with increase in an angle of inclination.
