Abstract
An electrically conducted viscous incompressible nanofluid flow caused by the nonlinear stretching surface with stagnation flow has been investigated numerically. The effect of Brownian motion and thermophoresis on the nanofluid is also incorporated. The governing partial differential equations with nonlinear second order boundary conditions are solved by the fourth order Runge-Kutta technique using MATLAB programming. The effect of the radiation parameter (<i>Rd</i>), stretching parameter (n), Brownian motion parameter (<i>Nb</i>), thermophoresis parameter (<i>Nt</i>) on temperature, velocity and mass transfer are shown graphically. The influence of some of these parameters on the local Nusselt number (− <i>θ</i>′(0)) and local Sherwood number (−<i>ϕ</i>′(0)) are shown by the graphs.
