Abstract
The present paper envisages the effects of electrification of particles, volume fraction and diffusion of SPM on the boundary layer flow and heat transfer over a semi-infinite flat plate. Irrespective of the particle material density, it has been observed that the range of validity of the solution remains fixed and at x=2.12 the nature of the profiles of the flow variables changes. Electrification of particles causes the particles to move faster for x< 1.0 and slows down for x> 1.0 but particle temperature increases with increase of M. It has been observed that heat transfer always occurs from the fluid to plate.
