| Abstract | ||
| eable surface in the presence of an inclined magnetic field and nonuniform heat source/sink. Four different types of nanoparticles, namely silver Ag, copper Cu, alumina Al2O3, and titania TiO2, are considered by using water as a base fluid with the Prandtl number Pr = 6.785. The governing partial differential equations are transformed to coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations by appropriate similarity transformation. Furthermore, the similarity equations are solved numerically by using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta integration scheme with Newton Raphson shooting method. A comparison of obtained numerical results is made with previously published results in some special cases, and excellent agreement is noted. Numerical results for velocity and temperature profiles as well as skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number are discussed for various values of physical parameters. It tends to be discovered that, the magnetic field inclination angle γ has the capability to strengthens the magnetic field and reduce the velocity profile of the flow. Also, it can be found that, by using various types of nanofluids, velocity and temperature distributions change, which means that the nanofluids are important in the cooling and heating processes. The thermal boundary layer thickness is related to the increased thermal conductivity of different types of nanofluids, i.e., the minimum (maximum) value of the temperature is obtained by adding titanium oxide (silver) to the fluid as the nanoparticles. | ||
