Abstract :
This work is focused on the numerical investigation of steady mixed convective magneto nanofluid flow due to an inclined stretching surface. The transport model employed includes the effects of Brownian and thermophoresis diffusion using Buongiorno model. Two types of nanofluids are considered such as Copper-water and Alumina-water nanofluids. The governing boundary layer equations of the problem are formulated and transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The obtained equations are then solved numerically using MATLAB. An analysis has been carried out to elucidate the effects of governing parameters corresponding to various physical conditions. Respective numerical results for the longitudinal velocity, temperature and nanoparticle volume fraction are displayed graphically and the skin friction coefficient and reduced Nusselt number are presented in tabular form. Comparisons with previously published work have been done and are found to be in excellent agreement.
