A new numerical analysis of MHD laminar boundary layer flow and heat transfer of nanofluids over a moving surface in the presence of thermal radiation

摘要

Numerical analysis has been carried out on MHD boundary layer flow of nanofluids over a moving surface in the presence of thermal radiation. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations using suitable similarity transformations. The resultant equations were then solved using the spectral relaxation method. Effects of the physical parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles as well as the local skin friction coefficient and the heat and mass transfer rates are depicted graphically and/or in tabular form.
