  The present paper uses the Galerkin Finite Element Method to numerically
study the triple diffusive boundary layer flow of homogenous nanofluid over
power-law stretching sheet with the effect of external magnetic field. The
fluid is composed of nanoparticles along with dissolved solutal particles in
the base fluid. The chief mechanisms responsible for enhancement of convective
transport phenomenon in nanofluids - Brownian Motion, Diffusiophoresis and
Thermophoresis have been considered. The simulations performed in this study
are based on the boundary layer approach. Recently proposed heat flux and
nanoparticle mass flux boundary conditions have been imposed. Heat transfer,
solutal mass transfer and nanoparticle mass transfer are investigated for
different values of controlling parameters i.e. Brownian-motion parameter,
Thermophoresis parameter, magnetic influence parameter and stretching
parameter. Multiple regression analysis has been performed to verify the
relationship among transfer rate parameters and controlling parameters. The
present study finds application in insulation of wires, manufacture of tetra
packs, production of glass fibres, fabrication of various polymer and plastic
products, rubber sheets etc. where the quality merit of desired product depends
on the rate of stretching, external magnetic field and composition of materials
used.
