Description

Highlights: • Flow of third grade nanomaterials due to rotating disk. • Heat and mass transfer are analyzed by thermophoresis and Brownian motion. • Impacts of chemical reaction and heat source/sink are considered. • Velocity is reduced for larger estimations of Reynolds number and material parameters. - Abstract: This article addresses flow of third grade nanofluid due to stretchable rotating disk. Mass and heat transports are analyzed through thermophoresis and Brownian movement effects. Further the effects of heat generation and chemical reaction are also accounted. The obtained ODE's are tackled computationally by means of homotopy analysis method. Graphical outcomes are analyzed for the effects of different variables. The obtained results show that velocity reduces through Reynolds number and material parameters. Temperature and concentration increase with Brownian motion and these decrease by Reynolds number.
