Abstract
This article presents the effect of nonlinear thermal radiation on three dimensional flow and heat transfer of fluid particle suspension over a stretching sheet. The combined effects of non-uniform source/sink and convective boundary condition are taken into consideration. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations using similarity variables, which are then solved numerically by using Runge Kutta Fehlberg-45 method with shooting technique. The influence of various parameters on velocity and temperature profiles are illustrated graphically, and discussed in detail. The results indicate that the fluid phase velocity is greater than that of the particle phase for various existing parameters.
