ABSTRACT
This paper presents the generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) simulation for
analysis of a nanofluid over a nonlinearly stretching sheet. The obtained governing
equations of flow and heat transfer are discretized by GDQ method and then are
solved by Newton-Raphson method. The effects of stretching parameter, Brownian
motion number (Nb), Thermophoresis number (Nt) and Lewis number (Le), on the
concentration distribution and temperature distribution are evaluated. The obtained
results exhibit that the heat transfer rate can be controlled by choosing different
nanoparticles and stretching parameter.
