Nonlinear convective heat and mass transfer of Oldroyd-B nanofluid over a stretching sheet in the presence of uniform heat source/sink

The present study addresses the three-dimensional flow and nonlinear radiative heat transfer of an Oldroyd-B nanofluid flow over a stretching surface with the addition effects of uniform heat source/sink and convective boundary conditions. Suitable similarity transformations are employed to reduce t...
