Abstract

In this manuscript, we have described the analysis of oblique stagnation point flow of a non-Newtonian fluid with variable viscosity. Two-phase nanofluid model is demonstrated. The flow is analyzed in the presence of stagnation point flow. To control the turbulence, we have considered the effects of Magnetohydrodynamics. The estimation of heat flux is analyzed by Fourier law of heat conduction. Effects of variable viscosity on the considered flow are comprehended with the help of Reynold's model. Similarity transformations are used to change the partial differential equations in to a highly nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations. The declined coupled system of differential equations is tackled numerically using BVP solution method in Maple software. Influence of parameters is highlighted by graphs and tables. The Nusselt number and Skin friction are also pondered through the tables and graphs with the non-dimensional parameters. The Casson fluid parameter performs to quicken the fluid velocity. The system heats up by the effects of dissipation and Joule heating.
