SHEET BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW OF NANOFLUID PAST AN INCLINED STRETCHING

The problem of laminar fluid flow which results from an inclined stretching flat surface in nanofluid  has been investigated numerically in this paper. The model used here for the nanofluid considers the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis. A similarity solution is presented which depends on the Prandtl number Pr, Lewis number Le, Brownian number Nb and thermophoresis number Nt. The coupled partial differential equations governing the flow are transformed into nonlinear boundary layer equations, which are then solved using the Nachtsheim-Swigert Shooting iteration technique along with the fourth order RungaKutta method. The variation of the Nusselt and Sherwood numbers with Nb ,Nt ,Pr , Le,Gr and Gc for various values of angle of inclinations ? is presented in graphical forms.
