MHD BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW OF NANOFLUID OVER A STRETCHING PERMEABLE SHEET IN PRESENCE OF CHEMICAL REACTION

In this work, we addressed the characteristics of two dimensional transient boundary layer flow of nanofluid over a non-linear stretching surface with magnetic field in presence of chemical reaction. By as set of similarity transformation, the proposed leading PDEs of flow phenomena are converted into non-linearly ODEs with boundary condition and then the solved numerically by using Keller Box method. The numerical solutions of the non-dimensional system equations have been illustrated. MATLAB software as well-recognized scheme is operated to solve problem for numerous values of governing parameters. The study reveals that the governing parameter, namely, Magnetic parameter, Wall mass transfer parameter, Prandtl number, Lewis number, Brownian motion parameter, Thermophoresis parameter and chemical reaction parameter, have major effects on the heat transfer and the nanoparticle volume fraction. For thermophoresis effect, the thermal boundary layer thickness becomes larger and the results are presented in both graphical and tabular form
