This communication reports, the flow of Cu-water dusty nanofluid past a centrifugally stretching surface under the effect of second order slip and convective boundary conditions. The coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations are get hold of from the partial differential equations which are derived from the conservation of momentum and energy of both nanofluid and dusty phases. Then, using apt resemblance transformation these ordinary differential equations were altered into a dimensionless form and then solved by bvp5c solver in Matlab software. The variation in velocity and temperature profiles of fluid and dusty phases for different parameters are thrash out in depth by figures and tables. The outcomes exhibit that the velocity profile of both fluid and dusty phases boot as the values of the dust particle volume fraction parameter is enlarged. Besides, the magnetic field parameter has similar effect on the velocity profile of both fluid and dusty phases. Also, the results illustrated that temperature profile of both Cu-water nanofluid and dusty particle phases are improved within an enhancement in the values of the temperature relaxation parameter, Cu-particle volume fraction, and Biot number. The results also confirm that for greater values of the magnetic field parameter the values of skin friction coefficient are enlarged for all values of the velocity ratio parameter.
