Abstract

In this article, we have examined the effect of partial slip and convective boundary conditions on an unsteady boundary layer flow of nano fluid over a continuous stretching surface. The governing highly non linear coupled partial differential equations of nano fluid are simplified with the help of boundary layer approximation and suitable similarity transformation. The reduced coupled nonlinear equations are solved by homotopy analysis method (HAM), then these results are compared numerically. The physical features of various parameters are analysis and discussed. The important phenomena local skin friction Cf, local Nusselt number Nx and local Sherwood number Shx are also computed and discussed.
