Abstract: The investigation concerns the induced magnetic field influence on the hydrodynamics and thermal build-up of water-based nanofluids containing nanoparticles in the non-isothermal and constant heat flux limits. Partial differential equations for the Boundary Layer Flow (BLF) are formulated and non-dimensionalized. Appropriate similarity variables are further introduced to arrive at a system of coupled nonlinear differential problems. Symbolic solutions are presented graphically and explained for various governing parameters. From the result, the thermal boundary layer is seen to be on the increase with increasing values of the fluid Prandtl number for both non-isothermal and constant heat flow conditions.
