Abstract
This research work describes and investigates Williamson nanofluid flow over an exponentially stretching permeable vertical plate with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and viscosity. The governing non-linear partial differential equations (PDEs) are metamorphosed into coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by using similarity transformation. The succeeding equations were numerically solved using MATLAB function bvp4c for various values of parameters. For velocity, temperature, concentration, the skin friction coefficient, and the local Nusselt number, data are presented in the form of graphs and tables. It is noted that for increasing values of magnetic parameter , Williamson parameter and viscosity parameter , the boundary layer thickness of the velocity profile decreases, while it increases for the temperature profile. The findings of the present work are validated through the published results.
