Introduction
In many industrial applications that depends on understanding the mechanisms of different types of energy transfer occurring within the system. The flow towards a stretching sheet was examined by Crane [1]. By taking into consideration a thin metal stretching sheet, the comparison between experimental and theoretical results has been
displayed by Yoon et al. [2]. Sarma and Rao [3] presented the viscoelastic behavior of fluid flow. Manjunatha et al. [4] also investigated the heat source & radiation effects in porous medium. These days, a lot of scientist are concentrating on MHD non-Newtonian nano-fluids because of their many uses in fields like engineering, biological materials, photodynamic therapy, and food processing. Nano-fluid is the general term for a fluid that contains nanoparticles

(sizes between 1 and 100 nanometers), according to Choi [5]. Additionally, the prospective uses of nanofluids in drug delivery and biomedical imaging have been investigated. To completely comprehend the features and transport capabilities of nanofluids as well as their potential for practical uses, more study is necessary. Before nanofluids are extensively used, concerns regarding the safety and potential effects of nanoparticles on the environment must be thoroughly examined. In the fields of pharmaceuticals, electronics, refrigerators and other household appliances, and power and chemical engineering, nanofluids have unique qualities and characteristics. Afterthat, Convection in nanofluid was described by Buogiorno [6]. Many scientists have studied the transport phenomenon of many Newtonian or non-Newtonian fluid models [7-11]. Magnetohydrodynamics, or MHD for short, is the study of how electrically conducting liquids behaves in presence of magnetism. It analyses how electrically charged particles and magnetic fields interact within a fluid by combining concepts from fluid dynamics and electromagnetism. Studies in the field of magnetohydrodynamics are frequently focused on plasmas, which are states of matter made up of charged particles (ions and electrons) that are capable of electrical conduction. This field includes a wide range of research questions, such as studying plasma dynamics in fusion reactors, studying solar flares and steroidal projectiles, and delving into the mechanisms underlying Earth’s magnetosphere. Hayat et al. [12] provided an interpretation of the Powell-Eyring MHD nanofluid flow. The flow conveyance on a non-linear stretched sheet with suction/injection was researched by Siddheshwar and Mahabaleshwar [13]. Researchers have also looked at non-linear influence towards stretched surfaces in a variety of real-world scenarios [14–19]. Recently, impact of MHD nanofluid with existence of slip conditions is revealed by [20]. Akaje et al. [21] studied the transport phenomenon induced by inclined surface in presence of MHD Casson nanofluid. Bolarin et al. [22] discussed the nanofluid boundary layer fluid flow induced by inclined surface. Influence of two phase transport phenomenon in presence of magnetic field induced by resolving system analytically has been investigated by Gholinia et al. [23]. Rana et al. [24] discussed the influence of Ag–MgO (50: 50)/water based hybrid nanofluid utilizing neural network by following FEM simulation. Free convection MHD energy transformation has been studied by Rana et al. [25] in presence of hybrid nanofluids. In recent years, influence of MHD under different boundary conditions has been studied by researchers in [26-31]. Investigations on combined influence of MHD slip flow, outer velocity, heat radiation & generation on non-linear stretching cylinders have not yet shown any results. To fill this gap, impact of free stream velocity with slip conditions and thermal radiation over non-linear surface has been studied out in this research. Mainly the quantitative results gives a new hike to this research to make novel one and has major applications in the biotechnological field,
encompassing power plants, refrigeration systems, medical science, micro-electro-mechanical Systems and in wide variety of industries. The following list indicates this paper’s main goal. To establish the mathematical equations that relate to the problem and the equivalent boundary conditions, such as continuity, momentum, energy, and concentration. Using the appropriate non-dimensional parameters and variables, dimensional O.D.E’s are converted into dimensionless P.D.E’s. Major objectives of the study are: • To obtain the numerical solutions, MATLAB 2014a will be used in conjunction with the Runge Kutta Fehlberg approach. • To investigate the effects of incidental features on skin friction, temperature, concentration, velocity, Nusselt and Sherwood number. • To examine the combined effects of heat radiation and heat generation on temperature and velocity profiles, together with plots and tables. • To illustrate the contrast between the impact of radiation and thermoelectric power on nanofluids.
Materials And Methods
In current study, 2-D incompressible slip flow in MHD nanofluid towards non-linear stretched surface has been induced. Non-linear behavior produces a flow along with Brownian motion and thermophoresis with considered stretching velocity Uw = cxn/L, where c is a constant, n represents non-linear stretching parameter and L represents characteristic length. Two component Buogiorno’s [6] model has been followed in current study & Magnetic field is assumed to be applied in radial direction. The physical representation of the current issue is shown in Figure 1. Here, R is the radius of the cylinder. In terms of Cartesian coordinates, the fundamental governing equations for nanofluid are defined as follows [32, 33]:
(11) where N = N0R / µr, N0 being the constant wall slip velocity. Dimensionless parameters; free stream velocity, Prandtl number, Brownian motion, thermophoresis, heat generation, heat radiation and magnetic parameters are symbolically given by
(12) (4) The flow model is described by boundary conditions as follows:
Where Nµ the velocity is slip factor and e is the stretching velocity parameter. Using similarity variables

(9) Transformed (5) which become, (10) Later, the velocity slip parameter d is defined as
where Rex = U∞x / v is the local Reynolds number. Numerical Solution Due to their highly non-linear behavior, D.E’s (7)–(9) cannot be solved analytically. Our method of choice for solving D.E’s (7)–(9) along with B.C’s (10) is the numerical procedure known as the RKF approach. Shooting technique has been adopted to solve the system of equation and the process has been displayed via figure 2 using flow chart. The following is a rearrangement of the controlling non-linear ordinary differential equations:

Code Validation For determining the final results in the current study, we employ the RKF approach, and the numerical procedure we are using the shooting technique. At the border, we assume a constant temperature and concentration of nanoparticles. The boundaries’ restrictions are as follows:
In present problem, we compare our results for −θ'δ(0) for different Pr and fixed n = 1, d = 0, Nt = Nb =0 and as shown in Table 1.
Numerical Results And Discussion
The current investigation determines the numerical solution for D.E’s (7)-(9) when B.C’s (10) are obtained using the RKF method. Determining the influence of important fluid factors namely λ, Rd, d, Nt and Nb on f 'δ(0), θδ(0) and ϕδ(0) is the primary motivation for solving the current problem. Table 2-6 demonstrate the impact of fluid parameters λ = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, Nb = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, Nt = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, Rd = 1,3,5,7, and 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 on f "δ(0), −θ'δ(0) and −ϕ'δ(0) in current problem. Table 2. f "δ(0), −θ'δ(0) and −ϕ'δ(0) against λ. λ
Figures 3, and 4 displayed the impact of λ(0.1 ≤ λ ≤ 0.7) on fδ'(ξ) and θδ(ξ) respectively. For large λ, it is described that the velocity profile rises and vanished at the surface of cylinder as visualized in Figure 3. Because of this, very less declination in field temperature is noticed for various entries of that can be observed in Figure 4. Hence, local Nusselt number also rise as displayed in Table 2. Figures 5 and 6 demonstrate profile of temperature and concentration with change in value of Nb(0.1 ≤ Nb ≤ 0.7). A random striking of poised elements is the Brownian motion that shows its existence when liquid particles strike with each another will create an arbitrary motion and that performs an increment in temperature as well as in concentration as displayed in Figures 5 and 6. Brownian motion of suspended (Pendolus) particles is the main reason for rise in kinetic energy of nano particle and due to this it enhance the thermal boundary layer thickness. Consequently, temperature gradient falls down for higher Nb (See Table 3).

Figure 7. Temperature profile against Nt. Little increment is seen in θδ(ξ) for higher Nb. For higher value of Brownian motion parameter Nb, collision between fluid particle will by which nanoparticle concentration declines. Also, concentration boundary layer thickness decreases as observed in Figure 6. Figures 7 and 8 presents the θδ(ξ) & ϕδ(ξ) plots affected by the thermophoresis, respectively. With augmentation in thermophoresis Nt, there is a declination in the temperature gradient, due to
which nanoparticle conduction falls down. Consequently, ultrafine elements migrate from hotter to cooler zone, that simultaneously increasing the width of the boundary layer and raising the temperature. This increase in thermal boundary layer thickness causes a decrease in the Nusselt number, as observed in Table 4. Conversely, in Figures 8, ϕδ(ξ) increases and the width of the concentration boundary layer also increases with higher values of the thermophoresis parameter. Additionally, plots are distinct for 0.0 ≤ ξ ≤ 8.2 (approx) and converges with ξ → ∞. In Figure 9, fluid temperature rises as the radiation parameter Rd increases, indicating a higher surface heat flux associated with higher Rd values. Additionally, the thermal boundary layer thickness expands with increasing Rd, suggesting a broader spread of heat transfer over the surface.

depicted in Figure 11 and plots are distinct for 0.0 ≤ ξ ≤ 4.0 (approx) and follows convergence criterion for ξ → ∞. The primary reason for this velocity reduction is the occurrence of slip conditions. Consequently, the width of the boundary layer decreases with increasing values of velocity slip parameter d.
Conclusion
P.D.E’s are converted into a set of O.D.E’s by the use of similarity transformation on it. Final results include the velocity, temperature and concentration distribution of MHD Casson nanofluid flow and impact of outer velocity induced by stretching cylinder. Final outcomes of the study are: • Augmentation in free stream velocity shows the increase in fluid velocity. • The Skin friction coefficient intensifies with increment in free stream velocity parameter. • Temperature of fluid reduced with increment of λ whereas noticed opposite pattern in case of Nb, Nt, d and Rd. • Heat transfer rate falls down by 71.31% with increment in free stream velocity as 0.1 ≤ λ ≤0.7 . • λ shows more deviation in temperature profile between fluid layer. On the other hand, Rd left more impact on temperature of fluid as comparative to the other parameter like Nb, Nt and d. • Concentration of fluid reduced for higher λ, Nb and Rd and opposite trend has been seen in cases of Nt and d. • Nt and Nb shows more deviation as comparative to other parameter in case of concentration of fluid. Current study is limited to the incompressible laminar flow of nanofluids induced by stretching cylinder in presence of free stream velocity and thermal radiation. This analysis can be extended to three dimensional extended surface induced with Cattaneo-Christov heat flux, melting surface utilizing Lie symmetry analysis.

Figure 10 demonstrates that fluid concentration and concentration boundary layer thickness decline as values increase, implying more efficient mixing or dispersion. Table 5 reveals that the Nusselt number decreases while the Sherwood number increases as increases, indicating changes in convective heat transfer efficiency and mass transfer efficiency, respectively. Figure 10 illustrates the effect of d (0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6) on the velocity distribution. It’s noticeable that fluid velocity falls down as d rises up, as
