MHD partial slip flow of Ag-water nanofluid over a stretching sheet

The study of boundary layer flow over a stretching sheet is of considerable interest because of its ever increasing industrial applications and important bearings on several technological processes examples, paper production, plastic sheets, metal sheets and many others. This paper deals with the MHD partial slip flow of Ag-water nanofluid over a stretching sheet. In this analysis, the partial differential equations governing the flow and temperature fields are converted into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using a similarity transformation. The similarity equations are then solved by using the fourth order Runge-Kutta method with shooting techniques. The effects of the magnetic parameter M and the velocity slip parameter on the dimensionless velocity and temperature fields are discussed and presented graphically. It has been observed that the velocity decreases with increasing slip parameter as well as with the increasing magnetic parameter. Whereas, temperature increases with the increasing values of magnetic parameter.
