Description
Summary:In the present framework, magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow of nanofluid induced by a power-law stretching/shrinking permeable sheet has been investigated numerically using shooting method, taking the effects of viscous dissipation. The governing equations that incorporate the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis are reduced into the system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The study reveals the existence of dual solutions for various pertinent parameters in certain domain with the critical value of suction (0
