Stagnation point flow, heat and mass transfer of MHD nanofluid due to porous stretching sheet through porous media with effect of thermal radiation

Abstract

Due to increasing applications of flow, heat and mass transfer of nanofluids (details of applications is presented in introduction part of this paper) we have presented some important investigations of a two-dimensional MHD stagnation point flow, heat and mass transfer through a porous media due to porous stretching sheet with effect of thermal radiation. The governing equations of the considered study are partial differential equations, which are transformed into non-linear ordinary differential equations using new similarity variables, which are solved by numerically using fourth order Runge-Kutta method with most efficient shooting technique. The influence various parameter on the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are discussed through plots and tables. To Validate our results we have calculated and tabulated the comparative results where one can find that, our present results are in very good agreement with earlier published work under some limiting conditions. © 2017 by American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved.
