Three-dimensional flow of nanofluid induced by an exponentially stretching sheet: an application to solar energy.

Three-dimensional flow of nanofluid induced by an exponentially stretching sheet: an application to solar energy.

This work deals with the three-dimensional flow of nanofluid over a bi-directional exponentially stretching sheet. The effects of Brownian motion and thermophoretic diffusion of nanoparticles are considered in the mathematical model. The temperature and nanoparticle volume fraction at the sheet are...
