This paper investigated the problem of hydromagnetic boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a dusty fluid over a stretching sheet through a porous medium. The velocity slip was considered instead of the no-slip condition at the boundary. The governing partial equations were reduced into a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations by using the suitable similarity transformation. The transformed equations were numerically integrated using bvp4c in Matlab. The effects of various physical parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles of both phases, such as fluid-particle interaction parameter, magnetic parameter, mass concentration parameter, porosity parameter and Prandtl number were obtained and analyzed through several plots. Useful discussions were carried out with the help of plotted graphs and tables. Under the limiting cases, the obtained numerical results were compared and found to be in good agreement with previously published results.

A numerical analysis has been carried out to investigate the effects of suction parameter and fluid-particle interaction parameter on boundary layer of dusty fluid towards the stretching sheet. The governing equations of boundary layer were transformed into system of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations with the help of similarity transformation. The transformed equations then solved numerically using bvp4c solver of MATLAB software. The effects of physical parameters on velocity profile of fluid phase and dust particle phase were obtained and analysed through several plots. Useful discussion were carried out with the help of plotted graphs and tables. The numerical results obtain were compared and found to be in good agreement with the previous study. It is observed that the presence of suction increase the velocity of fluid meanwhile opposite with velocity of particle. Besides that, the fluid-particle interaction parameter increase the velocity of particle. These findings will be used for future studies involving nanofluid.

 A boundary-layer analysis is presented for the natural convec tion boundary layer flow about a sphere embedded in a porous medium filled with a nanofluid using Brinkman-ForchheimerDarcy extended model. The model used for the nanofluid incorporates the ef fects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis. The governing partial differential equa tions are transformed into a set of nonsimilar equations and solved numerically by an efficient implicit, iterative, finite-difference method. Comparisons with previously published work are performed and excellent agreement is obtained. A parametric study of the physical parameters is conducted and a representative set of numerical results for the velocity, temperature, and nanoparticles volume fraction profiles as well as the local skin-friction coefficient, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers is illustrated graphically to show interesting features of the solutions.

An axi-symmetric laminar boundary layer flow of a viscous incompressible fluid and heat transfer towards a stretching cylinder is presented. Velocity slip is considered instead of the no-slip condition at the boundary. Similarity transformations are used to convert the partial differential equations corresponding to the momentum and heat equations into non-linear ordinary differential equations. Numerical solutions of these equations are obtained by the shooting method. It is found that the velocity decreases with increasing the slip parameter. The skin friction as well as the heat transfer rate at the surface is larger for a cylinder compared to those for a flat plate.
