Abstract:

In this paper, the slip effects on free convection boundary layer flow of nanofluids past a stretching sheet in the presence of heat generation is considered. The governing partial differential equations are converted into ordinary differential equations by similarity transformation, and then solved numerically using shooting technique. Numerical results are obtained for the reduced Nusselt number (i.e. dimensionless heat transfer rate), the reduced Sherwood number (i.e. dimensionless concentration rate) as well as the temperature and concentration profiles for some values of the governing parameters. Comparisons with the previous result show very good agreement. The results of the present paper show the reduced Nusselt number and reduced Sherwood number are influenced by the thermal slip parameter and the heat generation parameter.
