MHD Boundary Layer Slip Flow of a Casson Nanofluid Through a Porous Medium Over a Stretching Cylinder with Dissipation and Suction/Blowing

In this study, we report the steady MHD heat and mass transfer of a Casson nanofluid flow embedded in a porous medium with variable thermal conductivity, velocity slip and suction\blowing parameters through a horizontal cylinder. The governing equations are transformed into a set of the ordinary differential equation using suitable similarity variables. The resulting equations are solved numerically by Runge-Kutta fourth order method with shooting technique. The results show that the fluid flow, temperature and concentration are strongly influenced by the Casson parameter, magnetic parameter, curvature parameter and velocity slip parameter. The skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are also discussed for various values of the pertinent parameter and the results are tabulated and graphs are plotted. The results of the present study are compared with existing literature are found in good agreement.
