Abstract

A theoretical model is developed for steady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) viscous flow resulting from a moving
semi-infinite flat plate in an electrically conducting nanofluid. Thermal radiation and magnetic induction effects are
included in addition to thermal convective boundary conditions. Buongiorno’s two-component nanoscale model is
deployed, which features Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects. The governing nonlinear boundary layer
equations are converted to nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using suitable similarity transformations. The
transformed system of differential equations is solved numerically, employing the Spectral relaxation method (SRM)
via MATLAB R2018a software. SRM is a simple iteration scheme that does not require any evaluation of derivatives,
perturbation, and linearization for solving a non-linear systems of equations. Effects of embedded parameters such as
sheet velocity parameter
