MHD Stagnation Point Flow of Viscoelastic Nanofluid Past a Convectively Heated Stretching Surface

Abstract

A mathematical model is established to examine the influence of viscous dissipation and joule heating on magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an incompressible viscoelastic nanofluid over a convectively heated stretching sheet. Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects have been introduced in this nanofluid model. The governing equations are transformed into ODE’s by using suitable similarity conversions and are then solved numerically by the most robust shooting technique. The significance of numerous physical flow constraints is performed for, and distributions through graphs. It is noticed that, the increases for higher values of and reduces for rising values of heat source and Biot numbers. An outstanding contract was found between our numerical results and previously publicised results.
