Abstract
The steady of two-dimensional boundary layer flow and heat transfer characteristics along a moving permeable surface immersed in nanofluids taking into account the effects of a temperature-dependent viscosity and viscous dissipation has been investigated numerically. Three different types of nanoparticles, namely Copper Cu, Alumina Al sub(2)O sub(3), and Titania TiO sub(2) are considered by using water as a base fluid. The set of governing boundary layer equations and the boundary condition are transformed into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations with the relevant boundary conditions. The transformed equations are solved numerically by using Keller-Box method. Favorable comparison with previously published work is performed. Numerical results for variable Prandtl number, velocity and temperature profiles as well as skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are presented through graphs and tables for pertinent parameters to show interesting aspects of the solution.
