Nanofluid play an important role in heat transfer systems and hence the researchers have used copper-water and silver-water nanofluid in this study. Similarity transformation is used to non-dimensionalize momentum, temperature and concentration equations which describe this flow physically. The reduced coupled partial differential equations (PDEs) are linearized using finite volume method (FVM). The impact of stretching parameter and time parameter on velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction, Nusselt and Sherwood number is studied then results are illustrated graphically. It is observed that stretching parameter increase velocity of nanofluid. In addition, increase in time parameter results to increase in temperature and concentration.en-USHartmann numbertime parameternanofluidMHDsuction.Article
