Abstract

This paper examines the influence of melting heat transfer in the stagnation point flow of an incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Tangent hyperbolic fluid. Stretched flow by a vertical surface is considered. Inclined nature of magnetic field is taken for an electrically conducting liquid. The resulting non-linear differential systems are computed for the convergent series solutions. Influences of various pertinent parameters like Weissenberg, magnetic, melting, ratio, angle of inclination, mixed convection, Eckert and Prandtl on the velocity and temperature are analyzed. Numerical data for various parameters on skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number is also examined. It is found that the melting parameter reduces the temperature and thermal boundary layer while it shows opposite behavior for the velocity. Mixed convection has different role in the assisting and opposing flows.
