Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the flow and heat transference of unsteady nanofluid thin film flow due to linear stretching velocity over a horizontally placed stretching sheet in corporation of aligned magnetic field and non-uniform heat source/sink.

Design/methodology/approach

Leading equations of the course have been normalized via similarity approach and unraveled the resulting non-linear equations numerically by consuming RK-4 shooting practice to execute flow analysis.

Findings

A close agreement of two sets (for two different base fluids – polyvinyl alcohol and water) of result is perceived. The authors find that inclined magnetic field and nanoparticles concentration curbed velocity distribution which, in turn, causes enrichment of system of temperature distribution.

Originality/value

The paper acquires realistic numerical explanations in form of rapidly convergent series. The influence of emergent flow parameters on specific flow are made appropriately via graphs and charts. An unbiased result scrutiny of the existing section with formerly conveyed result is provided.
