AbstractWe analyzed the effects of Biot number and non-uniform heat source/sink on boundary layer flow and nonlinear radiative heat transfer of fluid particle suspension over an unsteady stretching surface embedded in a porous medium with nanoparticles. We considered conducting dust particles embedded with -water nanopartcles. The governing equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using local similarity transformations and solved numerically using Runge–Kutta-Fehlberg-45 order method along with shooting technique. The effects of non-dimensional parameters on velocity and temperature profiles for fluid phase and dust phase are discussed and presented through graphs. Also, friction factor and Nusselt number are discussed and presented through graphs. Comparisons of the present study were made with existing studies under some special assumptions. The present results have an excellent agreement with existing studies. Results indicated that the enhancement in fluid particle interaction parameter increases the heat transfer rate and depreciates the wall friction. Also, radiation parameter has the tendency to increase the temperature profiles of the dusty nanofluid.

The effects of non-uniform heat source/sink and viscous dissipation on MHD boundary layer flow of Williamson nanofluid through porous medium under convective boundary conditions are studied. Surface transport phenomena such as skin friction, heat flux and mass flux are discussed besides the three boundary layers. The striking results reported as: increase in Williamson parameter exhibiting nanofluidity and external magnetic field lead to thinning of boundary layer, besides usual method of suction and shearing action at the plate, a suggestive way of controlling the boundary layer growth. It is easy to implement to augment the strength of magnetic field by regulating the voltage in the circuit. Also, addition of nano particle to the base fluid serves as an alternative device to control the growth of boundary layer and producing low friction at the wall. The present analysis is an outcome of Runge-Kutta fourth order method with a self corrective procedure i.e. shooting method.

This paper explore the Marangoni boundary layer flow in a Casson nano liquid over a stretching sheet. The effect of chemical reaction and uniform heat source/sink are taken into the account. The standard nonlinear system is resolved numerically via Runge-Kutta based shooting scheme. Role of substantial parameters on flow fields as well as on heat and mass transportation rates are determined and conferred in depth through graphs.From the investigation it reveals that, the Marangoni number plays a connecting role between the velocity and temperature gradients on the boundary surface. Further,the higher values of Lewis number and chemical reaction parameter reduces the solutal thermal boundary layer thickness decreases.
