Abstract

In this article, an axisymmetric three-dimensional stagnation point flow of a nanofluid on a moving plate with different slip constants in two orthogonal directions in the presence of uniform magnetic field has been considered. The magnetic field is considered along the axis of the stagnation point flow. The governing Naiver–Stokes equation, along with the equations of nanofluid for three-dimensional flow, are modified using similarity transform, and reduced nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations are solved numerically. It is observed that magnetic field M and slip parameter λ 1 increase the velocity and decrease the boundary layer thickness near the stagnation point. Also, a thermal boundary layer is achieved earlier than the momentum boundary layer, with the increase in thermophoresis parameter N t and Brownian motion parameter N b . Important physical quantities, such as skin friction, and Nusselt and Sherwood numbers, are also computed and discussed through graphs and tables.

Summary

Introduction

The phenomenon of stagnation point flow has various uses in and aerodynamic industries. Raju and Sundeep [10] proved that with an increase in the magnetic number, there is an increase in the heat and mass transfer rates They studied numerically the MHD flow of non-Newtonian fluid over a rotating cone or plate. Bachok et al [15] studied the three-dimensional stagnation flow of a viscous fluid numerically, analyzed the velocity and heat transfer for different physical parameters, and compared three nanoparticles, namely Cu , Al2 O3 , Ti O3. Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis on stagnation point flow He considered dual solutions for shrinking/stretching parameters and heat transfer in the presence of buoyancy forces on a stretchable surface. An axisymmetric 3D stagnation point flow of a nanofluid on a moving plate with different slip constants in two orthogonal directions in the presence of uniform magnetic field has been considered and solved numerically
