Summary

Introduction

The study of flow and heat transfer generated by means of stretching medium has plenty of significance in numerous industrialized developments, (e.g., in the process of rubber and plastic sheets manufacturing, upgrading the solid materials like crystal, turning fibers etc.). In the fields of engineering and fluid science, heat transfer and boundary layer flow of nanofluid are the thrust areas of research. Many researchers examined the convective boundary layer flow of nanofluid past a stretched sheet. In the process of air cleaning, development of microelectronics, safety of nuclear reactors etc., heat and mass transfer of thermophoretic magnetohydrodynamic flow consumes prospective uses. Choi [6] was the first who introduced the idea of “nanofluids" and presented the report on the heat transfer properties of nano-fluids. Heat and mass transfer of MHD thermophoretic stream above plane surface was studied by Issac and Chamka [8]. Thermophoresis effect on aerosol particles was investigated by Tsai [9]
