Abstract
The steady, laminar, stagnation point flow of hybrid nanofluid past a nonlinearly stretching and shrinking sheet is studied. Hybrid nanofluid is regarded by disseminated two distinct nano-sized particles, silver (Ag) and copper oxide (CuO) in pure water. Similarity technique was used for the transformation of partial differential equations (PDEs) into an ordinary differential equation (ODEs). Obtained ODEs were solved using Matlab’s built-in function (bvp4c). The results of important governing parameters which are nonlinear parameter, suction/injection parameter, stretching/shrinking parameter and nanoparticle volume fraction are evaluated and discussed in graphical and tabular form for the velocity and temperature profiles, along with local skin friction, local Nusselt number. Nonunique solutions (first and second branch) are visible for some limit of shrinking parameter. It is noticed that suction parameter delays the boundary layer hastens flow separations.
