This study examines the flow behaviour of Jeffrey fluid together with uniform
distribution of dust particles that moves over the vertical shrinking sheet. This
intriguing mixture employs the two-phase model which mathematically describes the
characteristic of both fluid and solid particles in a flow system by a set of partial
differential equations. A convenient form of these equations is expressed in the form
of ordinary differential equations through the use of similarity transformation and can
subsequently be solved by applying the Keller-box method. Numerical solutions for
several influencing parameters, namely suction, fluid-particle interaction, magnetic
field and aligned angle on the flow and temperature fields of the two components
(fluid and dust particles) are presented in graph form. In addition, the results of skin
friction coefficient and Nusselt number at surface of sheet are summarized in the table
and analysed in details. It is found that, the velocity and temperature profiles of fluid
and dust phases show a similar behaviour in response to all involved parameters
except for fluid-particle interaction parameter, respectively.

1. Introduction
The study of boundary layer flow and heat transfer over a continuously moving surface has been
motivated due to the increasing applications in manufacturing industry [1-2]. Few examples of such
productions that frequently encountered in our daily life include glass blowing, hot rolling, polymer,
metal sheet, wire drawing, cooling of a large metallic plate in a bath and spinning of fibers. In
connection to this, the theoretical investigations on the flow problem of fluid induced by stretching
and shrinking sheets under dissimilar conditions have been expanded in literature vastly. Sakiadis [3]
