In this article, the problem of a two-phase unsteady boundary layer flow past an inclined stretched surface has been considered. The impact of electrification and transverse force has been analyzed in presence of Buoyancy force. The fluid is neither electrified externally nor is considered in electric medium rather the electrification occurred due to the collision of particles between particle-particle, particle-fluid and particle-wall. A balanced mathematical model has been formulated with account of the two-phase boundary layer flow of fluid which consists of systems of highly nonlinear partial differential equations. An appropriate similarity transformation has been used for converting the system of equations into ordinary differential equations and solved numerically by the use of bvp4c tool of MATLAB. Moreover, the influence of electrification parameter, angle of inclination, transverse force, fluid particle interaction parameter and others on flow and heat transformation characteristics has been analyzed graphically and analytically. The results are in agreement with the existing results.
