The present study investigated the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow and heat transfer on a stagnation point past a stretching sheet in a blood-based Casson ferrofluid with Newtonian heating boundary conditions. The ferrite Fe3O4 and cobalt ferrite CoFe2O4 ferroparticles suspended into Casson fluid represent by human blood to form blood-based Casson ferrofluid are numerically examined. The mathematical model for Casson ferrofluid which is in non-linear partial differential equations are first transformed to a more convenient form by similarity transformation approach then solved numerically by using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg (RKF45) method. The characteristics and effects of the stretching parameter, the magnetic parameter, the Casson parameter and the ferroparticle volume fraction for Fe3O4 and CoFe2O4 on the variation of surface temperature and the reduced skin friction coefficient are analyzed and discussed. It is found that the blood-based Casson ferrofluid provided up to 46% higher in temperature surface compared to blood-based fluid with the presence of magnetic effects.

This article reports the flow of a Casson fluid in the region of stagnation-point towards a stretching sheet. The characteristics of heat transfer with viscous dissipation are also analyzed. The partial differential equations representing the flow and heat transfer of the Casson fluid are reduced to ordinary differential equations through suitable transformations. The flow is therefore governed by the Casson fluid parameter β, the ratio of the free stream velocity to the velocity of the stretching sheet a=c, the Prandtl number Pr, and the Eckert number Ec. The analytic solutions in the whole spatial domain have been computed by the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The dimensionless expressions for the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number have been calculated and discussed.

The aim of the present study is to analyze numerically the steady boundary layer flow and heat transfer characteristics of Casson fluid with variable temperature and viscous dissipation past a permeable shrinking sheet with second order slip velocity. Using appropriate similarity transformations, the basic nonlinear partial differential equations have been transformed into ordinary differential equations. These equations have been solved numerically for different values of the governing parameters namely: shrinking parametersuction parameterCasson parameterfirst order slip parametersecond order slip parameter  Prandtl number  and the Eckert number  using the bvp4c function from MATLAB. A stability analysis has also been performed. Numerical results have been obtained for the reduced skin-friction, heat transfer and the velocity and temperature profiles. The results indicate that dual solutions exist for the shrinking surface for certain values of the parameter space. The stability analysis indicates that the lower solution branch is unstable, while the upper solution branch is stable and physically realizable. In addition, it is shown that for a viscous fluida very good agreement exists between the present numerical results and those reported in the open literature. The present results are original and new for the boundary-layer flow and heat transfer past a shrinking sheet in a Casson fluid. Therefore, this study has importance for researchers working in the area of non-Newtonian fluids, in order for them to become familiar with the flow behavior and properties of such fluids.
