Combined similarity-numerical solutions of MHD boundary layer slip flow of non-newtonian power-law nanofluids over a radiating moving plate

A combined similarity-numerical solution of the magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer slip flow of an electrically conducting non-Newtonian power-law nanofluid along a heated radiating moving vertical plate is explored. Our nanofluid model incorporates the influences of the thermophoresis and the Brown...
