Radiation effect on laminar boundary layer flow of nanofluid over a flat plate

Nanofluids are a new class of advanced heat transfer fluids, which are liquids containing a dispersion of submicronic solid particles or nanoparticles. Thus, nanofluids have many applications in industry such as coolants, lubricants, heat exchanges and many more. In this study, the mathematical mode...
