Influence of Nanofluids on Boundary Layer Flow over an Inclined Stretching Sheet in a Porous Media along with Magnetic Field

Abstract

The current study intends to analyse the magnetohydrodynamics boundary layer flow of a water-based nanofluid of Silver, Copper and Ferrous Ferric Oxide nanoparticles over a Permeable inclined stretched sheet in a porous media. A similarity transformation is utilized to convert the governing partial differential equations into non-dimensional, non-linear ordinary differential equations. The Keller box finite difference implicit approach is then applied to solve these nonlinear equations numerically. The impacts of several parameters, namely, inclination parameter, magnetic parameter, Soret Number, Eckertnumber and nano particles volume fractionon velocity, temperature and nanoparticle concentration are explored.
