Abstract

The current investigation deals with melting heat transport in hyperbolic tangent fluid past a stretching sheet with fluid particle suspension and thermal radiation. Numerical solution is obtained via shooting technique after the applying of similarity variables to the governing partial equations. The effects of key parameters like magnetic parameter, fluid particle interaction parameter, Eckert number, Prandtl number, Weissenberg number and melting parameter are analyzed and discussed in detail with help of graphs and tables. Finally, the numerical values of the friction co-efficient and local Nusselt number are tabulated. Checked our results with existing work found excellent agreement. Results reveals that in the presence of melting parameter, the higher values of $W_e$ and $n$ depreciates the rate of heat transfer.
