TL;DR: In this article, the stagnation point flow of nanofluid with magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) and thermal radiation effects passed over a stretching sheet has been investigated.
Abstract: Present model is devoted for the stagnation point flow of nanofluid with magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) and thermal radiation effects passed over a stretching sheet. Moreover, we have considered the combined effects of velocity and thermal slip. Condition of zero normal flux of nanoparticles at the wall for the stretched flow phenomena is yet to be explored in the literature. Convinced partial differential equations of the model are transformed into the system of coupled nonlinear differential equations and then solved numerically. Graphical results are plotted for velocity, temperature and nanoparticle concentration for various values of emerging parameters. Variation of stream lines, skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt and Sherwood number are displayed along with the effective parameters. Final conclusion has been drawn on the basis of both numerical and graphs results.

TL;DR: In this paper, the steady boundary layer flow of MHD Williamson fluid through porous medium toward a horizontal linearly stretching sheet in the presence of nanoparticles is investigated numerically, and the resultant non-dimensionalized boundary value problem is solved numerically by Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg fourth-fifth order method with shooting technique.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, two different models from the literature are used to express these properties in terms of particle loading and they lead to very different qualitative and quantitative results in two types of problems.
