Abstract
An unsteady boundary layer of Nanofluids flowing past a vertical plane has numerically been investigated. The boundary layer governing equations were non-dimensionalised and non-dimensional equations obtained. The nondimensional parameters which include Grashof number, Magnetic parameter and Eckert number was obtained. The equations obtained were solved numerically by finite difference method. The velocity and temperature profiles are found to be affected by these dimensionless parameters. The present investigation provides useful information to researchers Since the results obtained is applied in various sectors which includes magnetic nanomaterial processing and automotive fields such as Nanofluid coolant.
