Abstract

This work describes the MHD stagnation-point flow and heat transfer of nanofluid over a stretching sheet in the presence of thermal radiation. Strictly different application of Rosseland approximation for thermal radiation is made. The resulting differential equations have been solved numerically by shooting method with fourth-fifth order Runge-Kutta integration technique. The solutions have been validated with the built-in solver bvp4c of MATLAB. Graphs are portrayed for the influence of variousparameters on the flow fields.
