Abstract

Here magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stagnation point flow by nonlinear stretching sheet is discussed. Variable thickness of sheet is accounted. In addition non-uniform heat generation/absorption concept is retained. Numerical treatment to arising nonlinear system is presented. Shooting procedure is adopted for numerical treatment. Graphs and tables lead to physical description of results. It is observed that skin friction enhances for (Ha) and it decays for different rising values of (K₁), (K₂) and (n). Further temperature gradient increases for higher estimation of (Pr) and decreases for larger (Ha). Major findings of present analysis are presented.
