Stagnation point flow of MHD chemically reacting nanofluid over a stretching convective surface with slip and radiative heat

This paper investigates the combined effects of buoyancy forces, homogeneous chemical reaction, thermal radiation, partial slip, heat source, Thermophoresis and Brownian motion on hydromagnetic stagnation point flow of nanofluid with heat and mass transfer over a stretching convective surface. The stretching velocity and the ambient fluid velocity are assumed to vary linearly with the distance from the stagnation point. Using similarity transformation, the governing nonlinear partial differential equations are reduced to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations which are solved numerically by employing by shooting method coupled with Runge–Kutta Fehlberg integration technique. Graphical results showing the effects of various thermophysical parameters on the velocity, temperature, nanoparticle concentration, local skin friction, local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number are presented and discussed quantitatively.
