description Nanofluid is one of the technologies used to improve heat transfer system. A class of nanofluid called hybrid nanofluid has been introduced recently. Hybrid nanofluid can upgrade thermal properties and consequently exhibit good heat transfer performance compared to nanofluid and conventional fluid. Besides that, the hybrid nanofluid has also manifested exquisite properties such as better chemical and mechanical inertness, greater thermal and electrical conductivity, and lower cost. In view of this, the problem of boundary layer flow of hybrid nanofluid embedded by the thin-film for viscous and Casson fluid past an unsteady porous stretching sheet is investigated in this thesis. Thin-film flow on a stretching sheet has a significant effect on heat transfer analysis.
