Thermal Radiation Effects on Unsteady Stagnation Point Nanofluid Flow in View of Convective Boundary Conditions

Abstract

The present communication particularizes nonlinear convective non-Newtonian stagnation point flow and heat transference effects in stretchable flow of nanofluid. Magnetohydromagnetic steady viscous flow of nanofluid is examined. Heat transfer attributes of nanofluids are addressed via a numerical algorithm. Conductivity and diffusivity characteristics of fluid are depending on temperature and concentration and furthermore, on mass conservation, momentum, energy, and concentration yield partial differential equations (PDEs). The boundary layer flow concept pioneered by Prandtl has been employed to simplify the nonlinear constitutive flow laws which are then changed to ordinary differential equations. A built-in bvp4c algorithm in Mathematica software yields convergent outcomes of nonlinear (ODEs) systems. A comprehensive analysis has been made elucidating the physical significance of various governing parameters effects presented graphically. Additionally, the flow nature was confirmed versus streamlines.
