Abstract

This investigation aims to analyze the effects of heat transport characteristics in the unsteady flow of nanofluids over a moving plate caused by a moving slot factor. The BRS variable is utilized for the purpose of analyzing these characteristics. The process of mathematical computation involves converting the governing partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations that have suitable similarity components. The Keller-Box technique is employed to solve the ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and derive the corresponding mathematical outcomes. Figures and tables present the relationship between growth characteristics and various parameters such as temperature, velocity, skin friction coefficient, concentration, Sherwood number, and Nusselt number. The results are assessed by comparing them to previous findings. The observation reveals that higher dimensionless reference temperature and variable values of the moving slot parameter have a suppressing effect on the velocity and temperature patterns of nanofluids. Higher values of the dimensionless reference temperature and moving slot parameter lead to enhancements in the Sherwood number, skin friction coefficient, and Nusselt number. The conductivity of the nanofluid is ultimately affected by these enhancements.
