Description
Summary:	In the study, the steady, laminar, incompressible, convective flow of a viscous fluid over a moving plate is investigated theoretically by adopting different types of nanoparticles. Radiation, internal heat generation and viscous dissipation effects are considered in the energy modeled equation. The governing flow equations for the momentum and temperature are reduced to dimensionless form via similarity transformations. The solutions to the resultant equations alongside with the transformed boundary conditions are numerically obtained using MATLAB package bvp4c. Validation with earlier studies are done for the non-internal heat generation case for two distinct nanoparticles of type Cu-water and Al-water. Extensive visualization of flow rate and heat distributions for various emerging parameters are examined. Temperature is consistently enhanced with a rising Eckert number of both types of nanofluids, whereas it is strongly reduced with rising values of radiation term. Heat transfer coefficient is consistently increased with a nanoparticle volume fraction of high convective heat in the medium.
