MHD stagnation point flow of nanofluid with SWCNT and MWCNT over a stretching surface driven by Arrhenius kinetics

Abstract

The intention of the current research is to address the conclusion of non-isothermal heterogeneous reaction on the stagnation — point flow of SWCNT — engine oil and MWCNT — engine oil nanofluid over a shrinking/stretching sheet. Further, exemplify the aspect of heat and mass transfer the upshot of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), thermal radiation, and heat generation/absorption coefficient are exemplified. The bvp4c from Matlab is pledged to acquire the numerical explanation of the problem that contains nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations (ODE). The impacts of miscellaneous important parameters on axial velocity, temperature field, concentration profile, skin friction coefficient, and local Nusselt number, are deliberated through graphical and numerically erected tabulated values. The solid volume fraction diminishes the velocity distribution while enhancing the temperature distribution. Further, the rate of shear stress declines with increasing the magnetic and stretching parameter for both SWCNT and MWCNT.
