Abstract

The primary goal of this work seems to be to investigate the numerical results of the steady 2-D MHD stagnation point flow of an incompressible nanofluid along a stretching cylinder. This paper also investigates the effects of radiation and convective boundary conditions. Brownian motion and thermophoresis are included into the nanofluid model. Similarity transformations are used to modify the obtained momentum, energy, and nanoparticle volume fraction equations. The distributions of velocity, temperature, and nanoparticle fractions are all numerically computed using bvp5c inbuilt MATLAB tool. The diagrammatic representation of the effect of physical important flow fields on velocity, temperature, species concentration, heat transfer coefficient rates, and nanoparticle fraction. In this study as Bi and Nr increases the result in temperature profile and volume fraction of nanoparticles rises and the rate of heat transfer diminishes as Nb & Nt values enhances.
