1 Introduction
The convection induced by the variations of the surfacetension gradients is known as theMarangoni convectionThisconvection has received great consideration in view of itsapplication in the fields of welding and crystal growth Alsothis convection is necessary to stabilize the soap films anddrying silicon wafers During the study of the existence ofthe steady dissipative layers which occur along the liquid-liquid or liquid-gas interfaces Napolitano [1] first calledthe boundary layer as the Marangoni boundary layer Manyresearchers such as Okano et al [2] Christopher and Wang[3] Pop et al [4] and Magyari and Chamkha [5] haveinvestigated theMarangoni convection in various geometriesAl-Mudhaf andChamkha [6] obtained the similarity solutionfor the MHD thermosolutal Marangoni convection over aflat surface in the presence of heat generation or absorptionwith fluid suction and injection Chen [7] investigated theflow and the heat transfer characteristics on the forcedconvection in a power law liquid film under an appliedMarangoni convection over a stretching sheet In recent yearsthe study on convective transport of nanofluids has becomeone of the popular topics of interest Nanotechnology takes
important part for the development of high performancecompact and cost-effective liquid cooling systemsMoreovernanofluids have effective applications inmany industries suchas electronics transportation biomedical and many moreNanotechnology has been an ongoing topic of discussionin public health as some of the researchers claimed thatnanoparticles could present possible dangers in health andenvironment Jang and Choi [8] have introduced nanosizedparticle in a base fluid which is also termed nanofluidfor the first time Arifin et al [9] have examined theinfluence of nanoparticles on the Marangoni boundary layerflow using a model proposed by Tiwari and Das [10] Anextendedworkwas done by Buongiorno [11] Daungthongsukand Wongwises [12] Trisaksri and Wongwises [13] Wangand Mujumdar [14] and Kakac and Pramuanjaroenkij [15]Recently Hamid et al [16] studied the radiation effectson the Marangoni boundary layer flow past a flat platein nanofluid In the present paper we study a numericalsolution of MHD heat transfer problem in nanofluid withnanoparticles Cu Al

2 Mathematical Formulation
Consider a steady two-dimensional Marangoni boundarylayer flow past a permeable flat plate in a water-basednanofluid containing different types of nano particles like Cu(Copper) Al
2O3(Aluminium Oxide) and TiO
2(Titanium
dioxide) Assume that the fluid is incompressible and theflow is laminar Also it is assumed that the base fluid andthe particles are in thermal equilibrium and no slip occursbetween them The thermophysical properties of nanoparti-cles are given in the Table 1 Further we consider a Cartesiancoordinate system (119909 119910) where 119909 and 119910 are the coordinatesmeasured along the plate and normal to it respectively andthe flow takes place at 119910 ge 0 Assume that the temperature ofthe plate is 119879
119908(119909) and that of the ambient fluid is 119879
infin
We further assume that the surface tension 120590 is to varylinearly with temperature as
120590 = 1205900[1 minus 120574 (119879 minus 119879
infin)] (1)
where 1205900is the surface tension at the interface and 120574 is the
rate of change of surface tension with temperature (a positivefluid property) It is also assumed that a uniform magneticfield 119867
0is imposed in the direction normal to the surface
(Figure 1) Then the steady state boundary layer equationsfor a nanofluid in the Cartesian coordinates are given by

Figure 8 Velocity profile for different 120601
Figure 8 depicts the influence of volume fraction onthe velocity profile of the nanofluid particles It is observednear the wall that velocity decreases with an increase in thevolume fraction 120601 Also it is observed that the velocity ofTiO2nanoparticles is higher than that of Cu nanoparticles
From Figure 9 it is clear that an increase in the valueof volume fraction enhances the temperature profile andCu nanoparticles exhibit more temperature than that ofthe other nanoparticles It is also known from Figure 10that temperature decreases with an increase in the Prandtlnumber This is because of a decrease in thermal diffusivitywith an increase in the Prandtl number (Pr)
Figures 11 and 12 depict the influence of the Prandtlnumber and volume fraction on heat transfer respectivelyIt is observed that the Nusselt number increases with an

2 Mathematical Formulation
Consider a steady two-dimensional Marangoni boundarylayer flow past a permeable flat plate in a water-basednanofluid containing different types of nano particles like Cu(Copper) Al
2O3(Aluminium Oxide) and TiO
2(Titanium
dioxide) Assume that the fluid is incompressible and theflow is laminar Also it is assumed that the base fluid andthe particles are in thermal equilibrium and no slip occursbetween them The thermophysical properties of nanoparti-cles are given in the Table 1 Further we consider a Cartesiancoordinate system (119909 119910) where 119909 and 119910 are the coordinatesmeasured along the plate and normal to it respectively andthe flow takes place at 119910 ge 0 Assume that the temperature ofthe plate is 119879
119908(119909) and that of the ambient fluid is 119879
infin
We further assume that the surface tension 120590 is to varylinearly with temperature as
120590 = 1205900[1 minus 120574 (119879 minus 119879
infin)] (1)
where 1205900is the surface tension at the interface and 120574 is the
rate of change of surface tension with temperature (a positivefluid property) It is also assumed that a uniform magneticfield 119867
0is imposed in the direction normal to the surface
(Figure 1) Then the steady state boundary layer equationsfor a nanofluid in the Cartesian coordinates are given by

Figure 8 Velocity profile for different 120601
Figure 8 depicts the influence of volume fraction onthe velocity profile of the nanofluid particles It is observednear the wall that velocity decreases with an increase in thevolume fraction 120601 Also it is observed that the velocity ofTiO2nanoparticles is higher than that of Cu nanoparticles
From Figure 9 it is clear that an increase in the valueof volume fraction enhances the temperature profile andCu nanoparticles exhibit more temperature than that ofthe other nanoparticles It is also known from Figure 10that temperature decreases with an increase in the Prandtlnumber This is because of a decrease in thermal diffusivitywith an increase in the Prandtl number (Pr)
Figures 11 and 12 depict the influence of the Prandtlnumber and volume fraction on heat transfer respectivelyIt is observed that the Nusselt number increases with an

Figure 8 Velocity profile for different 120601
Figure 8 depicts the influence of volume fraction onthe velocity profile of the nanofluid particles It is observednear the wall that velocity decreases with an increase in thevolume fraction 120601 Also it is observed that the velocity ofTiO2nanoparticles is higher than that of Cu nanoparticles
From Figure 9 it is clear that an increase in the valueof volume fraction enhances the temperature profile andCu nanoparticles exhibit more temperature than that ofthe other nanoparticles It is also known from Figure 10that temperature decreases with an increase in the Prandtlnumber This is because of a decrease in thermal diffusivitywith an increase in the Prandtl number (Pr)
Figures 11 and 12 depict the influence of the Prandtlnumber and volume fraction on heat transfer respectivelyIt is observed that the Nusselt number increases with an

4 Conclusion
In the present paper we studied the effect of heat transferon the Marangoni boundary layer flow past a flat plate innanofluids in presence of transverse magnetic field With thesimilarity transformation the governing equations of motiontogether with boundary conditions were transformed to a set
