Abstract

The present work addresses the double stratified mixed convection stagnation point flow induced by an impermeable inclined stretching cylinder. The fluid is electrically conducting in the presence of an inclined magnetic field. Viscous dissipation is considered. Temperature and concentration at and away from the boundary are assumed variable. Series solutions of momentum, energy, and concentration equations are computed. The characteristics of various physical parameters on the distributions of velocity, temperature, and concentration are analyzed graphically. Behaviours of skin friction coefficient, Nusselt, and Sherwood numbers are discussed numerically. Comparison of the skin friciton coefficient is also examined in the limiting case.
