  • Abstract
    This paper deals with the momentum, heat and mass transfer behaviour of MHD nanofluid flow embedded with conducting dust particles past an inclined permeable stretching sheet in presence of radiation, non-uniform heat source/sink, volume fraction of nano particles, volume fraction of dust particles and chemical reaction. We have considered Cu-water nanofluid embedding with conducting dust particles. The governing partial differential equations of the flow, heat and mass transfer are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation and solved numerically using Runge-Kuttabased shooting technique. The effects of non-dimensional governing parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are discussed with the support of graphs. Also, skin friction coefficient, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are discussed and presented through tables. Under some special conditions present results have good agreement with the existed results. It is observed a raise in the heat transfer rate due to increase in the fluid particle interaction parameter. It is also observed that an increase in chemical reaction parameter enhances the mass transfer rate of the dusty nanofluid.
