Mixed Convection of MHD Boundary Layer Flow of Nanofluid Due to a Vertically Stretching Sheet with Partial Slip

The boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a nanofluid due to a vertically stretching sheet under the influence of uniform transverse magnetic field with partial slip is investigated in this paper. The governing partial differential equations, flow, heat and mass transfer are transformed into ordinary differential equations using suitable similarity transformation. The resulting system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations is solved numerically using shooting method with the Runge-Kutta integration scheme and the Newton-Raphson correction scheme. The solutions mainly depend on the Brownian motion, thermophoretic, slip and magnetic parameters, the Grashof and Lewis numbers. It is found that the flow field, temperature and nanoparticle volume fraction profiles are sententiously influenced by the said parameters and the same is demonstrated with graphical aid.
