Abstract

This article concentrates on the effect of MHD heat mass transfer on the stagnation point nanofluid flow over a stretching or shrinking sheet with homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions. The flow analysis is disclosed in the neighborhood of stagnation point. Features of heat transport are characterized with Newtonian heating. The homogeneous-heterogeneous chemical reaction between the fluid and diffusing species is included in the mass diffusion equation. The MHD stagnation boundary layer flow is explored in the presence of heat generation/absorption. Numerical convergent solutions are computed via the spectral quasi-linearization method (SQLM). The physical aspects of different parameters are discussed through graphs.
