【 摘 要 】

In the present paper, the flow of an incompressible, electrically conducting dusty fluid over a stretching sheet is considered. The Cattaneo- Christov heat flux theory is employed to control the thermal boundary layer. The flow equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations (NODEs) and which are solved with help of Runge-Kutta 4 th order method. Flow equations are examined with respect to boundary conditions namely prescribed wall temperature (PWT) and prescribed heat flux (PHF) cases. In general PWT and PHF boundary conditions are very useful in the industrial as well as manufacturing up and down processes. Impact of the emerging parameters on the dimensionless velocity and temperature as well as friction coefficient and local Nusselt number are examined. We also validated my results with already available literature. It is found that the heat transfer rate of the flow in PWT case is higher than that of PHF case. These results can help us to conclude that for higher heating processes (Heating industries) PWT case and lesser heating processes (Cooling industries) PHF boundary condition is useful.
