The aim of this paper is to investigate the two dimensional, nonlinear, steady, mixed convective flow of viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting nanofluid flow over an inclined stretching plate with prescribed heat flux in the presence of uniform transverse magnetic field. The present work concerns with two types of nanofluids such as copper-water and alumina-water nanofluids which analyse the heat transfer due to laminar flow of nanofluids over an inclined stretching plate with angle of inclination a with the horizontal. Using appropriate transformations, the governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations with corresponding conditions and which are solved numerically by MATLAB. Numerical solutions are obtained for the velocity and temperature as well as the skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number for different values of pertinent parameters and the physical aspects of the problem are discussed. The numerical results were validated by comparison with previously published results in the literature. It is found that the effect of nanoparticle volume fraction is to increase the heat transfer and hence enhance the thermal boundary layer thickness.
