Abstract
The steady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a nanofluid at the forward stagnation
point of an infinite permeable wall is investigated in this study. A mathematical model
has been constructed and the governing partial differential equations are converted
into ordinary differential equations by similarity transformation. The similarity equations
are solved numerically by a shooting technique. Results for the surface shear stresses,
surface heat transfer, and velocity, nanoparticle fraction and temperature profiles are
presented in tables and graphs. Effects of the magnetic parameter , constant mass
flux Biot number , Brownion motion parameter thermophoresis parameter and
Lewis number are examined. The present results are compared with previously
available numerical results obtained using other methods of solution, and they are
found to be in good agreement.
Keywords: MHD flow, Nanofluid, Stagnation point, Infinite permeable wall, Numerical solution.
