1. Introduction
Duetotheidealpotentialofheatandmassexchangeimpacts,
the nanofluids have pulled in consideration of analysts
worldwide. ese fluids are the mixture of nano-sized par-
ticles along with base fluids. e main purpose to mix the
nanoparticles into base fluids is to enhance the thermal
conductivity. Brownian motion and thermophoretic effects
are two principal ideas for an abnormal upgrade of thermal
conductivity.ismodelisbecomingmorewidelyusedsince

theCassonnanofluidoveraninclinedsurfacewasdiscussed

nanofluid flow through an inclined plate numerically.
Nowadays,manyinvestigatorsdiscussedtheflowofnanofluid
by considering different geometries [4–10].

[12] scrutinized Casson nanofluid flow along permeable
slanted surface via a famous numerical technique. Saidulu
et al. [13] considered an exponentially slanted sheet for
examining the radiation influences on nanofluid flow. For
