Stagnation point flow past a stretching sheet in a nanofluid with slip condition

Abstract

In this study, the numerical investigation of stagnation point flow past a stretching sheet in nanofluid with velocity slip condition and constant wall temperature is considered. The governing equations for the model which is in non linear partial differential equations are first transformed to ordinary differential equation by using similarity transformation. This ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method. Numerical solutions are obtained for the reduced Nusselt, Sherwood number and skin friction coefficient. Further, the effects of slip parameter on Nusselt and Sherwood number are analyzed and discussed. It is graphically shown that the velocity slip parameter has a capability to enhanced the skin friction coefficient.
