The objective of the present study is to analyze the development of the slip effects on the boundary layer flow and heat transfer over a stretching surface in the presence of nanoparticle fractions. In the modeling of nanofluid the dynamic effects including the Brownian motion and thermophoresis are taken into account. In the case of constant wall temperature a similarity solution is presented. The solution depends on a Prandtl number, slip factor, Brownian motion number, Lewis number, and thermophoresis number. The dependency of the local Nusselt and local Sherwood numbers on these five parameters is numerically investigated. To the best of author's knowledge, the effects of slip boundary condition in the presence of dynamic effects of nano particles have not been investigated yet. The results of the present paper show the flow velocity and the surface shear stress on the stretching sheet and also reduced Nusselt number and reduced Sherwood number are strongly influenced by the slip parameter.
