Computational analysis of hydromagnetic boundary layer stagnation point flow of nano liquid by a stretched heated surface with convective conditions and radiation effect

Abstract

In this study, the boundary layer phenomena for stagnation point flow of water-based nanofluids is being observed with the upshot of MHD and convective heating on a nonlinear stretching surface. To develop a fundamental flow model, a boundary layer approximation is done, which signifies time-dependent momentum, energy, and concentration expressions. Through a proper transformation framework, the modeled boundary layer partial differential equations (PDEs) have been diminished to a dimensionless system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). With the assistance of a built-in algorithm in Mathematica software, the fundamental flow equations are analyzed numerically by imposing a shooting technique explicitly. A stability and convergence analysis were also unveiled, and the ongoing investigation was found to have converged. The effect of mathematical abstractions on velocity, energy, and concentration is plotted and discussed. The influence of skin-friction and Nusselt number on the sheet are debated for the various values of important parameters.
