摘要
The nonlinear, steady, mixed convective, two-dimensional laminar hydromagnetic boundary layer flow of copper-water and alumina-water nanofluids over an inclined flat plate with an angle of inclination a in the presence of uniform transverse magnetic field is investigated in this work. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations of the problem are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations by utilizing suitable similarity transformations and the resulting nonlinear ordinary differential equations are solved numerically using MATLAB. Numerical results for dimensionless velocity and temperature of the nanofluid flows are obtained and computations for the various values of Magnetic interaction parameter, angle of inclination, volume fraction, Prandtl number and mixed convection parameter. The range of volume fraction of nanofluids and the angle of inclination under study are as follows: 0.00 <= phi <= 0.10 and 0 degrees <= alpha <= 60 degrees. The results are displayed graphically to show the interesting aspects of the nanofluids.
