Abstract

In the present study, the effects of partial slip on mixed convection stagnation point flow and heat transfer of nanofluid impinging normally toward a shrinking sheet are investigated numerically. In particular, focus is on Cu–water and Al2O3–water nanofluids. Similarity transformation technique is adopted to obtain the self-similar ordinary differential equations and then solved numerically using Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method with shooting technique. A parametric study is performed to explore the effects of various governing parameters on the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics. Both the cases of assisting and opposing flows are considered. The physical aspects of the problem are highlighted and discussed.
