Description
Summary:The MHD stagnation point flow and heat transfer towards a stretching sheet in a nanofluid with suction is investigated. The basic equations governing the fluid flow and heat transfer are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equation using a silmilarity transformation, before being solved by means of a shooting method. The effects of suction parameter on the skin friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood number as well as the velocity and the temperature profiles are obtained and analyzed. The numerical results indicate that the magnitude skin friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood number increase with suction effect.
