Consequences of convection-radiation interaction for magnetite-water nanofluid flow due to a moving plate

Present paper examines the boundary-layer flow of magnetic nanofluid over a radiative plate moving in a uniform parallel free stream. Water is considered as the base fluid which is being filled with magnetite-Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Energy balance equation is formulated with non-linear radiation heat f...
