3D MHD slip flow of a nanofluid over a slendering stretching sheet with thermophoresis and Brownian motion effects

theoretical analysis is performed to investigate the free convective heat and mass transfer in three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic slip flow of a nanofluid over a slendering (variable thickness) stretching sheet in the presence of thermophoresis and Brownian motion effects. Our considerations are water as base fluid, graphene and magnetite as nanoparticles and we did the simultaneous study of them on various profiles. R-K-Felhberg-integration scheme is employed to resolve the altered governing nonlinear equations. Influences of the parameters of concern on the common profiles (velocity, temperature, concentration) are conversed (in two cases). By viewing the same parameters, the skin friction coefficient, heat and mass transfer are discussed with the assistance of tables in two instances. It is found that the momentum, thermal and concentration boundary layers of water-graphene and water-magnetite nanofluids are non-uniform. It is also found that the rate of heat and mass transfer is high in water-graphene nanofluid when compared with the water-magnetite nanofluid. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
