Abstract Mixed convection flows of nanofluid past an inclined stretching sheet with g-jitter effect is studied in this paper. Water based nanofluid containing copper, copper oxide, aluminium oxide and silver nanoparticles are concerned. Coupled nonlinear partial differential equations are solved using Kellerbox method. The effect of solid nanoparticles volume fraction parameter, frequency of oscillation and inclination angle parameter is observed to reduce the skin friction and heat transfer coefficients whereas mixed convection parameter increases both skin friction and heat transfer coefficients. Present study also shows that, the heat transfer coefficient is highest for silver nanofluid. More >

Abstract This paper numerically investigates the magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer convective flow of an electrically conducting fluid in the presence of buoyancy ratio, heat source, variable magnetic field and radiation over an inclined nonlinear stretching sheet under convective surface boundary conditions. The Rosseland approximation is adopted for thermal radiation effects and the non-uniform magnetic field applied in a transverse direction to the flow. The coupled nonlinear momentum, thermal and species concentration governing boundary layer equations are rendered into a system of third order momentum and second order energy and mass diffusion ordinary differential equations via similarity transformations with appropriate boundary conditions.
