Boundary layer Viscous Flow of Nanofluids and Heat Transfer Over a Nonlinearly Isothermal Stretching Sheet in the Presence of Heat Generation/Absorption and Slip Boundary Conditions

The steady two-dimensional flow of a viscous nanofluid of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow and heattransfer characteristics for the boundary layer flow over a nonlinear stretching sheet is considered. Theflow is caused by a nonlinear stretching sheet with effects of velocity, temperature and concentrationslips. Problem formulation is developed in the presence of heat generation/absorption andsuction/injection parameters on non-linear stretching sheet. The resulting governing equations areconverted into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by applying a suitable similaritytransformation and then solved numerically using Keller-Box technique. Convergences of the derivedsolutions are studied. The effects of the different parameters on the velocity, temperature, andconcentration profiles are shown and discussed. Numerical values of local skin-friction coefficient, localNusselt number and Sherwood number are tabulated. It is found that the velocity profiles decreases,temperature and concentration profiles increases with increasing of velocity slip parameter, and thethermal boundary layer thickness increases with increasing of Brownian motion and thermophoresisparameters.
