Title ANALYSIS OF STAGNATION POINT FLOW OF NANOFLUID OVER A STRETCHING SURFACE

Author(s) Sobia Sultana

Abstract Nanofluids are heat transmission liquids with better thermo physical features and heat transfer capabilities that can improve the performance of several kinds of devices. Nanotechnology is significant in numerous categories, including heat transfer practices and energy applications. The present study examines the flow of Prandtl-Eyring nanofluid flowing over a stretching sheet placed in a porous medium. The fluid flow is developed in the presence of stagnation point and an inclined magnetic field. The heat and mass transfer characteristics in the flow regime are monitored using the Buon-giorno nano-model. The fluid model is presented in the form of partial differential equations and in order to convert these partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations, similarity transformations are utilized. Bvp4c method, a numerical technique is employed to solve the nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The effects of significant parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are illustrated graphically. The skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number for the flow are calculated and examined numerically. The skin friction enhances for large values of magnetic and suction parameters and the opposite trend is encountered for the Nusselt and Sherwood numbers.
