Abstract

Present communication aims to discuss magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stagnation point flow of Jeffrey nanofluid by a stretching cylinder. Modeling is based upon Brownian motion, thermophoresis, thermal radiation and heat generation. Problem is attempted by using (HAM). Residual errors for h-curves are plotted. Convergent solutions for velocity, temperature and concentration are obtained. Skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt number and Sherwood number are studied. It is examined that velocity field decays in the presence of higher estimation of magnetic variable. Furthermore temperature and concentration fields are enhanced for larger magnetic variable.
