In this paper, the steady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stagnation point flow of an incompressible viscous electrically conducting fluid over a stretching sheet has been investigated. Velocity and thermal slip conditions have been incorporated in the study. The effects of induced magnetic field and thermal radiation have also been duly taken into account. The nonlinear partial differential equations arising out of the mathematical analysis of the problem are transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation and boundary layer approximation. These equations are solved by developing an appropriate numerical method. Considering an illustrative example, numerical results are obtained for velocity, temperature, skin friction, and Nusselt number by considering a chosen set of values of various parameters involved in the study. The results are presented graphically/in tabular form.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the steady magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) boundary layer stagnation-point flow of an incompressible, viscous and electrically conducting fluid past a stretching/shrinking sheet with the effect of induced magnetic field. Design/methodology/approach The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations via the similarity transformations before they are solved numerically using the “bvp4c” function in MATLAB. Findings It is found that there exist non-unique solutions, namely, dual solutions for a certain range of the stretching/shrinking parameters. The results from the stability analysis showed that the first solution (upper branch) is stable and valid physically, while the second solution (lower branch) is unstable. Practical implications This problem is important in the heat transfer field such as electronic cooling, engine cooling, generator cooling, welding, nuclear system cooling, lubrication, thermal storage, solar heating, cooling and heating in buildings, biomedical, drug reduction, heat pipe, space aircrafts and ships with better efficiency than that of nanofluids applicability. The results obtained are very useful for researchers to determine which solution is physically stable, whereby, mathematically more than one solution exist. Originality/value The present results are new and original for the problem of MHD stagnation-point flow over a stretching/shrinking sheet in a hybrid nanofluid, with the effect of induced magnetic field.

This article investigates the combined influence of nonlinear radiation, Stefan blowing and chemical reactions on unsteady electro-magneto-hydrodynamic stagnation-point flow of a nanofluid from a horizontal stretching sheet. Both electrical and magnetic body forces are considered. In addition, the effects of velocity slip, thermal slip and mass slip are considered at the boundaries. An analytical method named as homotopy analysis method is applied to solve the non-dimensional system of nonlinear partial differential equations which are obtained by applying similarity transformations on governing equations. The effects of emerging parameters such as Stefan blowing parameter, electric parameter and magnetic parameter on the important physical quantities are presented graphically. In addition, an entropy generation analysis is provided in this article for thermal optimization. The flow is observed to be accelerated both with increasing magnetic field and electrical field. Entropy generation number is markedly enhanced with greater magnetic field, electrical field and Reynolds number, whereas it is reduced with increasing chemical reaction parameter.
