Abstract: | The Dufour and Soret impacts on magnetohydrodynamic Carreau nanoliquid past a nonlinearly stretching sheet are investigated. Variations in viscosity, heat conductivity, and convective boundary conditions are considered. Suitable similarity conversions are utilized to design the governing equations nondimensional. The Optimal Homotopy Analysis Method is employed to resolve the dimensionless equations. Graphs and tables are utilized to illustrate the impacts of the relevant factors over velocity, temperature, concentration, and streamlines. For the variations of different parameters, numerical values for Nusselt number, Sherwood number, and skin friction are provided in a table. The observed results are in good agreement with the previous literature findings. Furthermore, the current research shows that when the Dufour number increases, the temperature distributions get narrower. However, with increasing Soret number, the concentration distribution has the opposite effect. One of the important outcomes of the current study is that by increasing the Weissenberg number for shear-thinning fluids, one can improve the velocity field. |
