Abstract

In the current paper, we have examined the unsteady Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) boundary layer flow of a couple stress nanofluid over a stretching/shrinking surface along with convective boundary condition in the presence of free stream velocity. The governing equations of couple stress nanofluid model is simplified subject to similar and non similar variables. The reduced highly non linear coupled ordinary differential equations are solved numerically. The physical behavior of various pertinent parameters of nanofluids are discussed through graphs and tables. The values of important quantities like local Skin friction, local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number are also computed.
