The Magnetohydrodynamic Boundary Layer Flow of a Nanofluid past a StretchingShrinking Sheet with Slip Boundary Conditions

الملخص EN

The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow of a nanofluid past a stretching/shrinking sheet with velocity, thermal, and solutal slip boundary conditions is studied.

Numerical solutions to the governing equations were obtained using a shooting method.

The skin friction coefficient and the local Sherwood number increase as the stretching/shrinking parameter increases.

However, the local Nusselt number decreases with increasing the stretching/shrinking parameter.

The range of the stretching/shrinking parameter for which the solution exists increases as the velocity slip parameter and the magnetic parameter increase.

For the shrinking sheet, the skin friction coefficient increases as the velocity slip parameter and the magnetic parameter increase.

For the stretching sheet, it decreases when the velocity slip parameter and the magnetic parameter increase.

The local Nusselt number diminishes as the thermal slip parameter increases while the local Sherwood number decreases with increasing the solutal slip parameter.

The local Nusselt number is lower for higher values of Lewis number, Brownian motion parameter, and thermophoresis parameter.
