•Three-dimensional flow of Sisko nanofluid is modeled.•Uniform applied magnetic field is adopted.•Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects are accounted.•Heat transfer convective condition is utilized.•Recently constructed condition with zero nanoparticles mass flux is implemented.
This communication addresses the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) three dimensional flow of Sisko nanofluid bounded by a surface stretched bidirectionally. Nanofluid model includes the Brownian motion and thermophoresis. Heat transfer through convective condition is discussed. Developed condition with the zero nanoparticles mass flux at the surface is implemented. The governing problems subject to boundary layer approximations are computed for the convergent series solutions. Effects of interesting flow parameters on the temperature and nanoparticles concentration distributions are studied and discussed. Skin friction coefficients and the local Nusselt number are computed and analyzed.
