The present theoretical work endeavors to solve the Sutterby nanofluid flow and heat transfer problem over a permeable moving sheet, together with the presence of thermal radiation and magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). The fluid flow and heat transfer features near the stagnation region are considered. A new form of similarity transformations is introduced through scaling group analysis to simplify the governing boundary layer equations, which then eases the computational process in the MATLAB bvp4c function. The variation in the values of the governing parameters yields two different numerical solutions. One of the solutions is stable and physically reliable, while the other solution is unstable and is associated with flow separation. An increased effect of the thermal radiation improves the rate of convective heat transfer past the permeable shrinking sheet.

We investigate the combined effects of a magnetic field and a convective boundary condition on unsteady Jeffrey nanofluid flow over a shrinking sheet with thermal radiation and heat generation. The effects of several important factors such as particle size and shape, the clustering of particles and the effective thermal conductivity of nanofluids has not been studied adequately. It is important for more research so as to ascertain the effects of these factors on the thermal conductivity of a wide range of nanofluids. The non-dimensional governing equations are derived and solved using a spectral quasilinearisation method. Among other findings, we show that thermal radiation enhances both the temperature and concentration profiles. Furthermore, the effects of different physical parameters on the flow velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are shown graphically and discussed in detail. Comparison with previously published work shows an excellent agreement.
