Abstract

This article communicates the study of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stagnation point flow of Casson liquid towards a stretched surface. Chemical reaction model involving both heat and mass transfer is established. Effects of viscous dissipation and Joule heating are also considered. Appropriate transformations yield strong nonlinear ordinary differential system. The obtained nonlinear systems have been solved through built-in shooting method. Velocity field shows decreasing behavior for higher estimation of magnetic parameter while temperature field shows increasing behavior for larger homogeneous heat parameter. Graphical behaviors of velocity, temperature and concentration are analyzed comprehensively corresponding to various pertinent parameters.
