Abstract

A theoretical study of a second-grade nanofluid over a porous medium has been conducted. Stagnation point flow is considered. Effects of nonlinear radiative heat flux, dissipation and Joule heating are considered in the modeling of energy equation. Furthermore, chemical reaction is accounted. The wall is not stationary, but stretching at rate a. Total irreversibility rate is obtained through the second thermodynamics law. Slip mechanism of nanoparticles like Brownian movement and thermophoresis are considered. Suitable transformations lead to ordinary system. Solution development is done through HAM. Effects of pertinent variables are graphically discussed. Skin friction and temperature gradient are examined graphically versus different parameters. It is observed that velocity field decreased versus larger magnetic parameter. Temperature enhances versus rising values of magnetic and radiation variables. Main idea of present flow is listed.
