Magnetohydrodynamic laminar boundary layer slip flow of a nanofluid over a moving plate with Newtonian heating boundary condition in the presence of heat generation–absorption effects is studied using Lie group analysis and a numerical method. The model used for the nanofluid includes the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis. The governing transport equations are non-dimensionalized and transformed into a set of similarity equations using similarity transformations generated by Lie group transformations. The transformed equations are then solved using the Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg fourth- and fifth-order numerical method in Maple 17, which is also used to generate relevant graphs and tables. The flow, heat, and nanoparticle volume fraction characteristics are shown to depend on a number of thermophysical parameters, namely, Brownian motion, thermophoresis, Lewis number, Prandtl number, linear momentum slip, magnetic field, suction–injection, Newtonian heating, and heat generation–absorption. The effects of these parameters on the dimensionless stream function, velocity, temperature, nanoparticle volume fraction, wall heat, and mass transfer rates are investigated. Comparisons of the present numerical solutions with published works show very good correlation. The study finds applications in nano-technological magnetic materials processing.

Natural convection heat transfer fluid flow past an inclined semiinfinite surface in the presence of solute concentration is investigated by Lie group analysis. The governing partial differential equations are reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations by the translation and scaling symmetries. An exact solution is obtained for translation symmetry and numerical solutions for scaling symmetry. It is found that the velocity increases and temperature and concentration of the fluid decrease with an increase in the thermal and solutal Grashof numbers. The velocity and concentration of the fluid decrease and temperature increases with increase in the Schmidt number.

The present paper discusses steady MHD second order slip flow and heat transfer for a slightly rarefied gas due to an impermeable stretching sheet with heat flux and internal heat generation. By using the Lie group analysis, new similarity transformations are obtained. Employing these transformations, allows the partial differential equations governing the problem to transform into a system of ordinary differential equations which are later treated numerically using shooting method. Effects of the governing parameters on the dimensionless velocity and dimensionless temperature profiles are outlined graphically. Furthermore, results for the local skin-friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number are presented for some different values of the governing parameters in a tabular form. Also, results show that there is a strong dependency of the dimensionless temperature on the heat flux.
