Abstract : The ambient fluid which is essentially intended to cool a stretching sheet plays a vital role in finding the characteristics sought for the final product. For such an application scenario, a ferromagnetic fluid appears to be a good choice, as the stream could be regulated through a magnetic field by external means. In view of this, this study explains the ferromagnetic fluid flow through a stretching sheet with Stefan blowing condition and magnetic dipole. Further, thermophoresis, Brownian motion, and nonuniform heat source/sink effects are described herein. The governing expressions for assumed flow are reduced to ordinary differential equations through the use of suitable similarity variables. Then, these equations are solved using the Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg 45 scheme by adopting a shooting procedure. The attained numerical outcomes are illustrated in graphical form and described briefly. The results reveal that increases in the values of thermophoresis and Brownian motion parameters improve heat transfer. The fluid shows high heat transference for the injection case of Stefan blowing parameter. Finally, the chemical reaction rate parameter has a tendency to decrease the concentration gradient.
