Buoyancy Effect on MHD Slip Flow and Heat Transfer of a Nanofluid Flow Over a Vertical Porous Plate

Abstract

This study investigated the boundary layer flow and heat transfer aspects of a nanofluid over a porous plate with thermal radiation.Using suitable similarity transformations,partial differential equations were converted into ordinary differential equations and then solved numerically with the help of the Runge-Kutta scheme. The effects of various parameters were analyzed such as Prandtl number 𝑃𝑟, Lewis number 𝐿𝑒, Thermophoresis 𝑁𝑡, Mixed convection parameter λ,Brownianmotion 𝑁𝑏, Magnetic parameter M, and Suction/Blowing parameter S. The results were depicted with the help of graphs.
