Abstract

A boundary layer analysis is presented for the warm, laminar nanoliquid flow to a melting vertical plate surface in a moving non-Newtonian nanoliquid. We consider the natural convection boundary layer regime. Using the appropriate variables, the basic equations are transformed to non-similar form. These equations are solved numerically, employing the implicit finite difference method together with Keller box scheme. The rates of heat and mass transfer and the surface shear stress are presented graphically for parametric variations in the melting parameter M, buoyancy ratio parameter Nr, Brownian motion parameter Nb, thermophoresis parameter Nt, Lewis number Le and the power law exponent n.
