Review Report
Reply to the reviewer’s comments
The authors are grateful to the reviewers for their positive comments and suggestions.
Reviewers comments:
The current manuscript aims at studying a new wire coating technique by considering the Eyring-Powell fluid, and including effects of non-Newtonian fluid, magnetic field, permeability etc. in the analysis.
The referee is unable to recommend the publication of this manuscript because of some serious drawbacks in this study. The most important ones are as follows:
- A statement on lines 73 and 74 reads, “To reduce or neglect the perturbation in magnetic field we used the Reynolds number in our problem.” It’s not clear what authors mean by using Reynolds number in their study.
Reply: For temperature dependent viscosity case we have used two models namely are the Reynolds and Vogel’s to the investigate the effects of various emerging parameters in the modeled problem. In the revised manuscript corrections has been made accordingly.
Thank you for this notice.
- Authors claim to have used 4th order Runge-Kutta method, but no equations in the discretized form is presented.
Reply: The implementation of the 4th order Runge-Kutta method. The Equations (18)–(21) are first converted into 1st order Differential Equations and discretized the domain according to the implementation of 4th order Runge-Kutta method.
Thank you for this notice.
- What are HAM and BVPh2 methods? Authors should provide more details about these methods and discuss how they are relevant to the current study.
Reply: HAM is a semi numerical method use for the solution of highly non-linear differential equations, while BVPh2 is also, a semi numerical technique is used for the validation of the 4th order Runge-Kutta method.
Thank you for this notice.
- Authors have presented 13 figures, and less than a page has been devoted discussing the results. No reasoning behind why different parameters were chosen is provided. Also, the obvious trends in the plots are discussed, without providing any physical reasoning for the results. So, a much more detailed analysis of results is required. Also, the figures quality is poor and should be improved.
Reply: In the revised manuscript Figure-13 has been cited. The physics involved in modeled problem discussed in the results and discussion section in detail for the various parameters involved. The quality of figures is improved in the revised manuscript.
Thank you for this notice.
Authors contributing Statement:
Dr. Zeeshan Khan and Haroon Ur Rasheed wrote the main manuscript text. Dr. Saeed Islam supervised the whole project and guide the authors time to time for scientific assistant regarding to the manuscript. Dr. Ilyas Khan and Dr. Sahib Noor gave the simulation of the modeled problem. and technical support related to the problem and helped the corresponding author in reporting the results and discussion section. Finally, Dr. Waris Khan and Dr. Tariq Abbas both have carefully revised the whole manuscript for grammatical checked.
The corresponding author is very thankful to Asiful H Seikh, Elsayed Mohmed Sherif and Kottakkaran Sooppy Nisar for helping the corresponding in the reply to the reviewer’s comments.

Reviewer 2 Report
The authors presented the numerical modeling of the MHD flow of viscoelastic Eyring-Powell fluid with Joule heating and temperature dependent viscosity.
The main issue that has to be rectified before publishing is regarding the Results and discussion chapter. Discussion and physical explanations are completely missing from this chapter.
Moreover the experimental validation of the numerical model is not presented.
