摘要
We investigate the steady laminar boundary layer stagnation point flow over a linearly stretching or shrinking vertical sheet with a chemical reaction and convective boundary conditions. The stretching velocity varies linearly with the distance from the stagnation point. The mathematical model used for the nanofluid incorporates the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis. The governing highly non-linear and coupled partial differential equations were solved numerically. The effects of physical parameters on the flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics of the model are determined. Comparison of the numerical results is made with previously published results for special cases.
