Abstract
The thermodynamics of a Carreau nanoliquid thin film embedded with graphene nanoparticles past a stretching sheet is studied in the presence of inclined magnetic field and non-uniform heat source/sink. Graphene is a new two-dimensional amphiphilic macromolecule which has great applications due to its electrical and mechanical properties. The basic constitutive equations of Carreau nanoliquid for velocity and temperature have been used. Similarity transformations are adopted to achieve the nonlinear coupled differential equations accompanying boundary conditions embedded with different parameters. HAM (Homotopy Analysis Method) is used to solve the transformed equations for expressions of velocity and temperature. Graphs are shown which illustrate the effects of various parameters of interest. There exists a nice agreement between the present and published results. The results are useful for the thermal conductivity and in the analysis and design of coating processes. c 2019 by the authors.
