There are some key applications in recent construction systems flow, as well as microscale cooling gadgets and microstructure electric gadgets for thermal migration. The current investigation concludes the study of electrically conducting nano-fluid flow and heat transfer analysis in two-dimensional boundary layer flow over a curved extending surface in the coexisting of magnetic field, heat generation and thermal radiation. The small sized particles of copper (Cu) are taken as nanoparticles and water is assumed to be the base fluid. We used quasi-linearization and central difference approximation to numerically solve the system of coupled equations obtained from the partial differential equations (PDEs) by incorporating the concept of similarity. The impacts of non-dimensional parameters on velocity, concentration and thermal profiles have been discussed with the help of suitable graphs and tables. It has been noticed that the velocity decelerated with the effect of the magnetic field interaction parameter. Thermal radiation caused an increase in temperature.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym14101991","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,29]],"date-time":"2022-09-29T01:23:16Z","timestamp":1664414596000},"page":"1991","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A Self-Similar Approach to Study Nanofluid Flow Driven by a Stretching Curved Sheet"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Kashif","family":"Ali","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Basic Sciences and Humanities, Muhammad Nawaz Sharif University of Engineering and Technology, Multan 60000, Pakistan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9438-6132","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wasim","family":"Jamshed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Capital University of Science and Technology (CUST), Islamabad 44000, Pakistan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9829-9917","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sohail","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Basic Sciences and Humanities, Muhammad Nawaz Sharif University of Engineering and Technology, Multan 60000, Pakistan"},{"name":"Centre for Advanced Studies in Pure and Applied Mathematics, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan 60800, Pakistan"}]},{"given":"Hina","family":"Bashir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Advanced Studies in Pure and Applied Mathematics, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan 60800, Pakistan"}]},{"given":"Shahzad","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Advanced Studies in Pure and Applied Mathematics, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan 60800, Pakistan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3151-9967","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"El Sayed M.","family":"Tag El Din","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Future University in Egypt, New Cairo 11835, Egypt"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"131","DOI":"10.18869\/acadpub.jafm.68.224.23967","article-title":"MHD flow of Micropolar fluid due to a curved stretching sheet with thermal radiation","volume":"9","author":"Naveed","year":"2016","journal-title":"J.
