Abstract

Here axisymmetric mixed convective, stagnation point flow of electrically conducting nanofluid by a permeable cylinder is examined. Magnetic field in transverse direction is applied. The Darcy-Forchheimer relation is accounted to specify the flow nature in porous medium. Formulation of mathematical model is given by using Tiwari-Das nanofluid model. The velocity and thermal slip conditions.are taken. This whole communication comprises water as a base fluid with nano-sized particles (Aluminum oxide, Copper and Titanium Oxide). The nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations are obtained after using appropriate transformations. The convergent series solution of nonlinear system is accomplished by homotopic approach. The nondimensional velocity and temperature curve are examined under the impact of physical parameters like the nanoparticle volume fraction, permeability parameter, curvature parameter, the magnetic parameter and the mixed convection parameter. Numeric values of coefficient of skin friction and Nusselt number are analyzed.
