ABSTRACT Background: The nanofluid in view of the fabulous thermal conductivity enhancement have been recognized useful in several industrial and engineering applications. Methods: TheunsteadylaminarboundarylayerflowusingNanofluidwithviscousdissipationeffect andheatsourcealongastretchingsheethasbeeninvestigatednumerically.Toobtainnon- similarequations,continuity,momentum,energy,andconcentrationequationshavebeen non-dimensionalizedbyusualtransformation. Results:Thenon-similarsolutionsareconsideredhere whichdependonthePrandtlnumber,Eckertnumber,Lewisnumber,Brownian motionparameter,thermophoresisparameterandGrashofnumber. Theobtained equations have been solved by an explicit finite difference method withstability and convergenceanalysis.Thismethodisapowerfultechniqueforobtainingtheapproximate solution of the boundary value problems. The velocity, temperature, and concentration profilesare shown in graphically for different time steps and for the different values of the parameters. Keywords: Nanofluid, Stretching surface, Viscous dissipation.
