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 heat transfer characteristics for the boundary layer flow over a nonlinear stretching sheet is considered. The flow is caused by a nonlinear stretching sheet with effects of velocity, temperature and concentration slips. Problem formulation is developed in the presence of heat generation/absorption and suction/injection parameters on non-linear stretching sheet. The resulting governing equations are converted into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by applying a suitable similarity transformation and then solved numerically using Keller-Box technique. Convergences of the derived solutions are studied. The effects of the different parameters on the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are shown and discussed. Numerical values of local skin-friction coefficient, local Nusselt 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 the thermal boundary layer thickness increases with increasing of Brownian motion and thermophoresis parameters.
