Non-Newtonian nanofluids are widely encountered inmany industrial and technological applications such as thedissolved polymers biological solutions paints asphalts andglues The power-law non-Newtonian nanofluid along a ver-tical plate and a truncated cone saturated in a porousmediumwere analyzed byHady et al [16] andCheng [17] respectivelyRashad et al [18] investigated the natural convection of non-Newtonian nanofluid around a vertical permeable cone Theinfluence of Soret and Dufour on the mixed convective flowof Maxwell nanofluid over a permeable stretched surfacewas examined by Ramzan et al [19] Several authors [20ndash23] have analytically solved the problem of non-Newtoniannanofluids in various aspects using the homotopy analysismethod (HAM) Abou-Zeid et al [24] examined the impactof viscous dispersion on the mixed convection of glidingmotion of bacteria on power-law nanofluids through a non-Darcy porous medium The influence of nonuniform heatsourcesink with the Brownian motion and thermophoresison non-Newtonian nanofluids over a cone was illustrated byRaju et al [25]

The Casson fluid model is classified as a subclass of non-Newtonian fluid which has several applications in food pro-cessing metallurgy drilling operations and bioengineeringoperationsTheCasson fluidmodelwas discovered byCassonin 1959 for the prediction of the flow behavior of pigment-oil suspensions [26] Boundary layer flow of Casson fluid andCasson nanofluid flow over different geometries was consid-ered by many authors [27ndash30] Mustafa et al [27] analyticallydiscussed the unsteady boundary layer flow of a Casson fluidover a moving flat plate using the homotopy analysis method(HAM) Nadeem et al [28] examined the analytical solutionof convective boundary conditions for the steady stagnation-point flow of a Casson nanofluid Makanda et al [29] studiedthe numerical solution of MHD Casson fluid flow over anunsteady stretching surface saturated in a porous mediumwith a chemical reaction effect Recently Hayat et al [30]investigated the combined effects of the variable thermalconductivity and viscous dissipation on the boundary layerflow of a Casson fluid due to a stretching cylinder

The chemical reaction influence is a significant factorin the study of heat and mass transfer for many branchesof science and engineering A chemical reaction between

the base liquid and nanoparticles may regularly occur eitherthroughout a given phase (homogeneous reaction) or inan enclosed region (boundary) of the phase (heterogeneousreaction) Das et al [31] investigated numerically the effectsof chemical reaction and thermal radiation on the heat andmass transfer of an electrically conducting incompressiblenanofluid over a heated stretching sheet The effect of time-dependent chemical reaction on stagnation-point flow andheat transfer of nanofluid over a stretching sheet was pre-sented by Abd El-Aziz [32] El-Dabe et al [33] studied theimpact of chemical reaction heat generation and radiationon the MHD flow of non-Newtonian nanofluid over astretching sheet embedded in a porous medium Eid [34]proposed the numerical analysis of MHD mixed convectiveboundary layer flow of a nanofluid through a porousmediumalong an exponentially stretching sheet in the presence ofchemical reaction and heat generation or absorption effectsRecently Afify and Elgazery [35] discussed the influences ofthe convective boundary condition and chemical reaction onthe MHD boundary layer flow of a Maxwell nanofluid over astretching surface

All these previous studies restricted their discussions onconventional no-slip boundary conditions However bothvelocity slip and temperature jump at the wall have numerousbenefits in many practical applications such as micro- andnanoscale devices In 1823 Navier [36] became the firstperson to create the slip boundary condition and suggestedthat the slip velocity is linearly proportional to the shearstress at the wall Following him many researchers [37ndash42] have widely studied the velocity slip and temperaturejump at the wall over various geometries placed in viscousfluids and nanofluids The impacts of slip and convectiveboundary condition on the unsteady three-dimensional flowof nanofluid over an inclined stretching surface embeddedin a porous medium were numerically discussed by Rashad[37] Afify et al [38] used Lie symmetry analysis to investigatethe effects of slip flow Newtonian heating and thermalradiation on MHD flow and heat transfer along the per-meable stretching sheet EL-Kabeir et al [39] examined thenumerical solution for mixed convection boundary layerflow of Casson non-Newtonian fluid about a solid spherein the presence of thermal and solutal slip conditions Afify[40] examined the impact of slips and generationabsorptionon an unsteady boundary layer flow and heat transfer overa stretching surface immersed in nanofluids Abolbashariet al [41] presented an analytical solution to analyze theheat and mass transfer characteristics of Casson nanofluidflow induced by a stretching sheet with velocity slip andconvective surface boundary conditions Recently Uddin etal [42] discussed the effects of Navier slip and variablefluid properties on the forced convection of nanofluid andheat transfer over a wedge The objective of the presentpaper is to investigate the influences of chemical reactionviscous dissipation velocity and thermal and concentrationslip boundary conditions in the presence of nanoparticlesattributable to Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis onflow and heat transfer of Casson fluid over a stretching sur-face To the best of the authorrsquos knowledge this work has notbeen previously studied in the scientific research Numerical

the base liquid and nanoparticles may regularly occur eitherthroughout a given phase (homogeneous reaction) or inan enclosed region (boundary) of the phase (heterogeneousreaction) Das et al [31] investigated numerically the effectsof chemical reaction and thermal radiation on the heat andmass transfer of an electrically conducting incompressiblenanofluid over a heated stretching sheet The effect of time-dependent chemical reaction on stagnation-point flow andheat transfer of nanofluid over a stretching sheet was pre-sented by Abd El-Aziz [32] El-Dabe et al [33] studied theimpact of chemical reaction heat generation and radiationon the MHD flow of non-Newtonian nanofluid over astretching sheet embedded in a porous medium Eid [34]proposed the numerical analysis of MHD mixed convectiveboundary layer flow of a nanofluid through a porousmediumalong an exponentially stretching sheet in the presence ofchemical reaction and heat generation or absorption effectsRecently Afify and Elgazery [35] discussed the influences ofthe convective boundary condition and chemical reaction onthe MHD boundary layer flow of a Maxwell nanofluid over astretching surface

It is found from Figure 17 that the temperature field isenhanced with an increase in Eckert number PhysicallyEckert number is the ratio of kinetic energy to enthalpyTherefore an increase in Eckert number causes an increasein thermal energy which in turn enhances the temperatureand thermal boundary layer thickness of nanofluid Thisagrees with the fact that the heat transfer rate at the surfacedecreases with an increase in Eckert number as shown inTable 5 It is also noticed fromFigure 18 that the concentrationdistribution reduces with an increase in Eckert number nearthe surface whereas the reverse trend is observed far awayfrom the surface in both cases

5 Conclusions

The steady boundary layer flow of Casson nanofluid overa stretching surface with chemical reaction slip boundaryconditions and viscous dissipation has been numericallystudied The effects of various parameters on velocity tem-perature and nanoparticle concentration fields as well asthe friction factor the heat transfer and the mass transferrates are discussed through graphs and tables The validity ofthe present analysis is established by comparing the existingresults with previously published data The main conclusionsemerging from this study are as follows

(1) The heat transfer rate is augmented whereas themass transfer rate is clearly decreased with generativechemical reaction case

5 Conclusions

The steady boundary layer flow of Casson nanofluid overa stretching surface with chemical reaction slip boundaryconditions and viscous dissipation has been numericallystudied The effects of various parameters on velocity tem-perature and nanoparticle concentration fields as well asthe friction factor the heat transfer and the mass transferrates are discussed through graphs and tables The validity ofthe present analysis is established by comparing the existingresults with previously published data The main conclusionsemerging from this study are as follows

(1) The heat transfer rate is augmented whereas themass transfer rate is clearly decreased with generativechemical reaction case

5 Conclusions

The steady boundary layer flow of Casson nanofluid overa stretching surface with chemical reaction slip boundaryconditions and viscous dissipation has been numericallystudied The effects of various parameters on velocity tem-perature and nanoparticle concentration fields as well asthe friction factor the heat transfer and the mass transferrates are discussed through graphs and tables The validity ofthe present analysis is established by comparing the existingresults with previously published data The main conclusionsemerging from this study are as follows

(1) The heat transfer rate is augmented whereas themass transfer rate is clearly decreased with generativechemical reaction case

(2) The mass transfer rate is elevated whereas the heattransfer rate ismarkedly deceleratedwith the destruc-tive chemical reaction case

(3) The magnitudes of the friction factor the heat trans-fer and the mass transfer rates are reduced with anincrease in slip parameter

(4) The heat transfer rate is diminished whereas theopposite effect is found in the mass transfer rate withan increase in the thermal slip parameter

(5) The heat transfer rate is augmented whereas the masstransfer rate is considerably reduced with a rise inconcentration slip parameter

It is found from Figure 17 that the temperature field isenhanced with an increase in Eckert number PhysicallyEckert number is the ratio of kinetic energy to enthalpyTherefore an increase in Eckert number causes an increasein thermal energy which in turn enhances the temperatureand thermal boundary layer thickness of nanofluid Thisagrees with the fact that the heat transfer rate at the surfacedecreases with an increase in Eckert number as shown inTable 5 It is also noticed fromFigure 18 that the concentrationdistribution reduces with an increase in Eckert number nearthe surface whereas the reverse trend is observed far awayfrom the surface in both cases

5 Conclusions

The steady boundary layer flow of Casson nanofluid overa stretching surface with chemical reaction slip boundaryconditions and viscous dissipation has been numericallystudied The effects of various parameters on velocity tem-perature and nanoparticle concentration fields as well asthe friction factor the heat transfer and the mass transferrates are discussed through graphs and tables The validity ofthe present analysis is established by comparing the existingresults with previously published data The main conclusionsemerging from this study are as follows

(1) The heat transfer rate is augmented whereas themass transfer rate is clearly decreased with generativechemical reaction case

Mathematical Problems in Engineering 11

(2) The mass transfer rate is elevated whereas the heattransfer rate ismarkedly deceleratedwith the destruc-tive chemical reaction case

(3) The magnitudes of the friction factor the heat trans-fer and the mass transfer rates are reduced with anincrease in slip parameter

(4) The heat transfer rate is diminished whereas theopposite effect is found in the mass transfer rate withan increase in the thermal slip parameter

(5) The heat transfer rate is augmented whereas the masstransfer rate is considerably reduced with a rise inconcentration slip parameter

(6) The heat transfer rate is decreased whereas the masstransfer rate is distinctly boosted with an increase inBrownian motion and thermophoresis parameter

(7) The heat transfer rate is reduced whereas the masstransfer rate is enhanced with an increase in Eckertnumber

(8) The magnitudes of the friction factor and the masstransfer rate are enhanced with an increase in theCasson parameter in both cases

(9) The heat transfer rate is enhanced in the non-Newtonian nanofluid case whereas the oppositeinfluence is noticed in the Newtonian nanofluid case

(10) The nanoparticle concentration distribution isenhanced with the generative chemical reactionwhereas the opposite influence is noticed with thedestructive chemical reaction

It is found from Figure 17 that the temperature field isenhanced with an increase in Eckert number PhysicallyEckert number is the ratio of kinetic energy to enthalpyTherefore an increase in Eckert number causes an increasein thermal energy which in turn enhances the temperatureand thermal boundary layer thickness of nanofluid Thisagrees with the fact that the heat transfer rate at the surfacedecreases with an increase in Eckert number as shown inTable 5 It is also noticed fromFigure 18 that the concentrationdistribution reduces with an increase in Eckert number nearthe surface whereas the reverse trend is observed far awayfrom the surface in both cases

5 Conclusions

The steady boundary layer flow of Casson nanofluid overa stretching surface with chemical reaction slip boundaryconditions and viscous dissipation has been numericallystudied The effects of various parameters on velocity tem-perature and nanoparticle concentration fields as well asthe friction factor the heat transfer and the mass transferrates are discussed through graphs and tables The validity ofthe present analysis is established by comparing the existingresults with previously published data The main conclusionsemerging from this study are as follows

(1) The heat transfer rate is augmented whereas themass transfer rate is clearly decreased with generativechemical reaction case

(2) The mass transfer rate is elevated whereas the heattransfer rate ismarkedly deceleratedwith the destruc-tive chemical reaction case

(3) The magnitudes of the friction factor the heat trans-fer and the mass transfer rates are reduced with anincrease in slip parameter

(4) The heat transfer rate is diminished whereas theopposite effect is found in the mass transfer rate withan increase in the thermal slip parameter

(5) The heat transfer rate is augmented whereas the masstransfer rate is considerably reduced with a rise inconcentration slip parameter

(6) The heat transfer rate is decreased whereas the masstransfer rate is distinctly boosted with an increase inBrownian motion and thermophoresis parameter

(7) The heat transfer rate is reduced whereas the masstransfer rate is enhanced with an increase in Eckertnumber

(8) The magnitudes of the friction factor and the masstransfer rate are enhanced with an increase in theCasson parameter in both cases

(9) The heat transfer rate is enhanced in the non-Newtonian nanofluid case whereas the oppositeinfluence is noticed in the Newtonian nanofluid case

(10) The nanoparticle concentration distribution isenhanced with the generative chemical reactionwhereas the opposite influence is noticed with thedestructive chemical reaction
