Abstract:
The thesis mainly discusses the influence of Arrhenius activation energy and variable thermal
conductivity on EMHD flow of bionanofluid over a nonlinearly radiating stretching sheet in a
porous medium. Considered partial differential equations (PDEs) for the described model is
written into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by using similarity
transformations. The transformed ODEs are solved numerically by utilizing bvp4c, shooting
method and Galerkin method that are implemented in MATLAB.We see an excellent agreement
of FEM results with other numerical methods like shooting method and bvp4c. Graphical
illustrations are provided to see the varying effects of relevant parameters.
