Abstract
An exploration of the unsteady MHD boundary layer flow over a moving vertical porous surface with nanofluids under the influence of a uniform transverse magnetic field and heat radiation absorption effects has been brought out. Two different kinds of water-based nanofluids comprising of Al2O3 and TiO2 are adopted into deliberation. The governing equations for the flow are solved by making use of the Laplace transform method, and the solutions are displayed in closed form. The velocity, temperature, concentration, the shear stress, the rate of heat and mass transportations near the surface has been described graphically for numerous values of the relevant parameters. The velocity and temperature enhances with increasing radiation absorption parameter. It is also observed that an increase of volume fraction of nanoparticles leads to the enhancement of the temperature on central line of the flow. Nusselt number might be tracked down to be elevated for alumina than titanium dioxide nanofluid. The present investigation originated applications in aerospace engineering as well as industrial many mechanisms.
