The present article gives a ray of light on the effects of magnetic field on an unsteady mixed convection flow of nanofluids containing nanoparticles which are spherical and cylindrical in nature. The unsteadiness in the flow is mainly caused by time dependent stretching velocity and temperature of the sheet at the surface. The governing transportation equations are first transformed into ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformations and then solved by employing Runga–Kutta–Frelberg method with shooting technique. The influence of various parameters on velocity and temperature profiles as well as wall shear stress and the rate of mass transfer are discussed through graphs and tables. The results for regular fluid (water) from the study are in excellent agreement with the results reported in the literature.

This paper deals with the analysis of an unsteady mixed convection flow of a fluid saturated porous medium adjacent to heated/cooled semi-infinite stretching vertical sheet in the presence of heat source. The unsteadiness in the flow is caused by continuous stretching of the sheet and continuous increase in the surface temperature. We present the analytical and numerical solutions of the problem. The effects of emerging parameters on field quantities are examined and discussed.
