Abstract : The study is achieved to explore the novel of a two-dimensional ferromagnetic fluid flow over a flat elastic sheet with the magnetic dipole effect. The flow design was chosen because it is often used in engineering and bioengineering applications including magnetic drug targeting systems. The Buongiorno model has been used to incorporate Brownian movement and thermophoresis effects. Further, Stefan blowing effect and convective boundary constraint is taken in to the account. The governing expressions for assumed flow are reduced to ordinary differential equations by opting suitable similarity variables. The reduced equations are solved using Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg 45 method by adopting Shooting technique. The attained numerical outcomes are then illustrated graphically . Result reveals that, upsurge in values of thermophoresis and Brownian motion parameters improves the thermal gradient and the fluid shows high heat transfer in existence of Stefan blowing condition. Convective boundary condition has tendency to improve the heat transfer feature of liquid in presence of Stefan blowing condition. Further, the justification of current outcomes is accomplished by developing comparison with available published work.
