Abstract

The present study explores the impact of anistropic slip on transient three dimensional MHD flow of
Cobalt-kerosene ferrofluid over an inclined radiate stretching surface. The governing partial differential
equations for this study are solved by the Thomas algorithm with finite-difference type. The impacts
of several significant parameters on flow and heat transfer characteristics are exhibited graphically. The
conclusion is revealed that the local Nusselt number is significantly promoted due to influence of thermal radiation whereas diminished with elevating the solid volume fraction, magnet parameter and slip
factors. Further, the skin friction coefficients visualizes a considerable enhancement with boosting the
magnet and radiation parameters, but a prominent reduction is recorded by elevating the solid volume
fraction and slip factors
