Stagnation point flow study with water based nanoparticles aggregation over a stretching sheet: numerical solution

Abstract

Intention of the current study is to examined the two dimensional stagnation point flow of waterbased nanofluid towards a stretching sheet. To simplify the problem similarity transformations are smearing on basic boundary layer equations for nanofluid. Three different type of nanoparticles, such as copper (Cu), alumina (Al2O3) and titanium (TiO2) are utilized with water as a base fluid. Condensed coupled equations along with the boundary conditions are then solved numerically. Corporeal behavior of velocities and temperature profiles have been inspected through graphs and discussion. Skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number with nano volume fraction ? accessible through graphs. 2016 American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved.
