Abstract
The present investigation imparts the mixed convection non-linear Falkner-Skan flow and heat flux analysis of ZnO-SAE50 nanolubricant over a stationary/moving Riga-plate in presence of thermal radiation. Additionally, velocity and thermal slip boundary conditions are considered. In the current study, a micro-convection model (Patel model) is considered. The present model has great influence in significant enrichment of heat transport capability of the nanoliquids. The similar transformed nonlinear coupled governing expressions are examined numerically by the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg integration scheme. The important outcome of the present study is that the augmented pressure gradient impedes the motion of nano-lubricant while reverse trend is attained due to the amplification of modified Hartmann number and velocity slip at the boundary. Further, the growth of thermal slip peters out the heat transfer rate from the Riga plate.
