Two-dimensional MHD mixed convection boundary layer flow of heat and mass transfer stagnation-point flow of a non-Newtonian power-law nanofluid towards a stretching surface in the presence of thermal radiation and heat source/sink is investigated numerically. The non-Newtonian nanofluid model incorporates the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis. The basic transport equations are made dimensionless first and the complete nonlinear differential equations with associated boundary conditions are solved numerically by finite element method (FEM). The numerical calculations for velocity, temperature, and nanoparticles volume fraction profiles for different values of the physical parameters to display the interesting aspects of the solutions are presented graphically and discussed. The skin friction coefficient, the local Nusslet number and the Sherwood number are exhibited and examined. Our results are compatible with the existing results for a special case.

An investigation is carried out for the steady, two dimensional stagnation point flow of a viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting, optically thick heat radiating fluid taking viscous dissipation into account over an exponentially stretching non-isothermal sheet with exponentially moving free-stream in the presence of uniform transverse magnetic field and non-uniform heat source/sink. The governing boundary layer equations are transformed into highly nonlinear ordinary differential equations using suitable similarity transform. Resulting boundary value problem is solved numerically with the help of 4th-order Runge-Kutta Gill method along with shooting technique. Effects of various pertinent flow parameters on the velocity, temperature field, skin friction and Nusselt number are described through figures and tables. Also, the present numerical results are compared with the earlier published results for some reduced case and a good agreement has been found among those results.

In this study we numerically examine the mixed convection stagnation-point flow of a nanofluid over a vertical stretching/shrinking sheet in the presence of suction, thermal radiation and a heat source/sink. Three distinct types of nanoparticles, copper (Cu), alumina (Al2O3) and titania (TiO2), were investigated with water as the base fluid. The governing partial differential equations were converted into ordinary differential equations with the aid of similarity transformations and solved numerically by utilizing the bvp4c programme in MATLAB. Dual (upper and lower branch) solutions were determined within a particular range of the mixed convection parameters in both the opposing and assisting flow regions and a stability analysis was carried out to identify which solutions were stable. Accordingly, solutions were gained for the reduced skin friction coefficients, the reduced local Nusselt number, along with the velocity and temperature profiles for several values of the parameters, which consists of the mixed convection parameter, the solid volume fraction of nanoparticles, the thermal radiation parameter, the heat source/sink parameter, the suction parameter and the stretching/shrinking parameter. Furthermore, the solutions were presented in graphs and discussed in detail.
