This paper deals with the numerical solutions for the aligned MHD free convection laminar boundary layer flow over a moving inclined plate for two magnetic nanofluids, namely Fe3O4-water and Fe3O4-kerosene. It is assumed that the left surface of the plate is in contact with a hot fluid while the cold fluid is on the right surface. The mathematical model has been constructed and based on the Tiwari-Das model, appropriate similarity transformations are used to convert the governing partial differential equations into nonlinear ordinary differential equations and solved numerically using the Keller-Box method. Numerical results for the skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number were presented whilst the velocity and temperature profiles were illustrated graphically and analyzed. It is found that the velocity increases and temperature decrease with an increase of aligned magnetic field angle parameter, magnetic strength parameter, and Grash of number while the velocity decreases and temperature increase when inclined plate angle parameter and volume fractions of nanoparticles increase. For the convective parameter, both velocity and temperature profile increase when the Biot number increase. Comparisons with previously published studies are performed and excellent agreement is obtained. © 2022 The Authors.
