AbstractAn analysis of this paper is examined, two-dimensional, laminar with heat and mass transfer of natural convective nanofluid flow past a semi-infinite vertical plate surface with velocity and thermal slip effects are studied theoretically. The coupled governing partial differential equations are transformed to ordinary differential equations by using non-similarity transformations. The obtained ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by a well-known method named as Keller Box Method (KBM). The influences of the emerging parameters i.e. Casson fluid parameter (β), Brownian motion parameter (Nb), thermophoresis parameter (Nt), Buoyancy ratio parameter (N), Lewis number (Le), Prandtl number (Pr), Velocity slip factor (Sf) and Thermal slip factor (ST) on velocity, temperature and nano-particle concentration distributions is illustrated graphically and interpreted at length. The major sources of nanoparticle migration in Nanofluids are Thermophoresis and Brownian motion. A suitable agreement with existing published literature is made and an excellent agreement is observed for the limiting case and also validation of solutions with a Nakamura tridiagonal method has been included. It is observed that nanoparticle concentrations on surface decreases with an increase in slip parameter. The study is relevant to enrobing processes for electric-conductive nano-materials, of potential use in aerospace and other industries.
