Popis: This work investigates the boundary layer flow and heat transfer of nanofluid over a stretching sheet. Diverse forms of copper nanoparticles in water-based nanofluid have been considered. Partial differential equations are modified into ordinary differential equations with the help of appropriate transformations. By the 4th order, Runge–Kutta method, the resulting calculations are performed. The properties of numerous functional parameters like volume fraction (ϕ), porosity parameter (Pm), Eckert number (Ec), and empirical shape factor (n) for velocity and temperature are scrutinized graphically when the Prandtl number (Pr = 6.2) is fixed. The outcomes show that the linear velocity is growing up for volume fraction and porosity parameter while the temperature raises by growing values of porosity parameter, Eckert number, and volume fraction for all shapes of nanoparticles and declines by rising the values of empirical shape factor. However, the change in the nanofluid-containing sphere–shaped nanoparticles is less than those containing blade and platelet–shaped. The available solutions are matched with the outcomes in the published literature under particular conditions. A fantastic contract is observed in the results.
