Nanofluids are very helpful to enhance the convective heat transfer in a boundary layer flow. Prandtl number also play a major role in controlling the thermal and momentum boundary layers. For this purpose, we have considered a model for effective Prandtl number which is borrowed by means of experimental analysis on a nano boundary layer, steady, two-dimensional incompressible flow through a stretching sheet. We have considered \u03b3Al2O3-H2O and Al2O3-C2H6O2 nanoparticles for the governing flow problem. An entropy generation analysis is also presented with the help of the second law of thermodynamics. A numerical technique known as Successive Taylor Series Linearization Method (STSLM) is used to solve the obtained governing nonlinear boundary layer equations. The numerical and graphical results are discussed for two cases i.e., (i) effective Prandtl number and (ii) without effective Prandtl number. From graphical results, it is observed that the velocity profile and temperature profile increases in the absence of effective Prandtl number while both expressions become larger in the presence of Prandtl number. Further, numerical comparison has been presented with previously published results to validate the current methodology and results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e19080414","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,11]],"date-time":"2017-08-11T10:07:40Z","timestamp":1502446060000},"page":"414","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Effect of Slip Conditions and Entropy Generation Analysis with an Effective Prandtl Number Model on a Nanofluid Flow through a Stretching Sheet"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Mohammad Mehdi","family":"Rashidi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, University of Birmingham, Edjbaston, Birmingham B15 2TT, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Munawwar Ali","family":"Abbas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, Karakoram International University, Skardu Campus, Gilgit Baltistan 16100, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"99","article-title":"Enhancing thermal conductivity of fluids with nanoparticles","volume":"231","author":"Chol","year":"1995","journal-title":"ASME-Publications-Fed"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"227","DOI":"10.2963\/jjtp.7.227","article-title":"Alteration of thermal conductivity and viscosity of liquid by dispersing ultra-fine particles (dispersion of \u03b3-Al2O3, SiO2 and TiO2 ultra-fine particles)","volume":"7","author":"Masuda","year":"1993","journal-title":"Netsu Bussei"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"240","DOI":"10.1115\/1.2150834","article-title":"Convective transport in nanofluids","volume":"128","author":"Buongiorno","year":"2006","journal-title":"J.
