Abstract

This study focuses on the investigation of nanofluid flow with convective boundary conditions past a static wedge by considering copper as the chosen nanoparticles and water as the conventional base fluid. The governing partial differential equations (PDE) are transformed into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODE) by using an appropriate similarity transformation. The transformed governing equations are then solved numerically by using the Keller-box method. The significant impact of parameters included wedge angle parameter, mixed convection parameter, volume fraction of nanoparticle and Biot number are presented. The graphical analysis on velocity and temperature profiles revealed that the increasing values of all considered parameters causes the increment of velocity of the flow. Meanwhile, significant changes on the temperature profiles are clearly depicted on the increment of nanoparticle volume fraction as well as the Biot number.
