Type: article
Abstract: In this era of modern science, non-Newtonian nanofluids have gained much importance in research due to large-scale applications in science and engineering.Hence, our investigation centres on utilizing Williamson Nanofluid to improve heat transfer across a horizontal surface, while examining the impacts of magnetic fields, solar radiation, chemical reactions, and activation energy.The nanofluid model integrates thermophoresis and Brownian motion to account for their combined effects in the energy transport equation.The numerical solutions address relevant boundary value problems by employing the shooting technique.The results are then illustrated through graphs and tables, providing insights into the distinctive features of various flow fields within the working fluid.The numerical computations consider two distinct scenarios: Williamson nanofluid and ordinary Williamson fluid.The findings indicate a higher heat transfer rate for the Williamson nanofluid than the ordinary Williamson fluid.
