PurposeThis paper aims to analyze the behavior of the stagnation-point flow and heat transfer over a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet in the presence of the viscous dissipation and heat source effects.Design/methodology/approachThe governing partial differential equations are converted into ordinary differential equations by similarity transformations before being solved numerically using the bvp4c function built in Matlab software. Effects of suction/injection parameter and heat source parameter on the skin friction and heat transfer coefficients as well as the velocity and temperature profiles are presented in the forms of tables and graphs. A temporal stability analysis will be conducted to verify which solution is stable for the dual solutions exist for the shrinking case.FindingsThe analysis indicates that the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number as well as the velocity and temperature were influenced by suction/injection parameter. In contrast, only the local Nusselt number, which represents heat transfer rate at the surface, was affected by heat source effect. Further, numerical results showed that dual solutions were found to exist for the certain range of shrinking case. Then, the stability analysis is performed, and it is confirmed that the first solution is linearly stable and has real physical implication, while the second solution is not.Practical implicationsIn practice, the study of the steady two-dimensional stagnation-point flow and heat transfer past a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet in the presence of heat source effect is very crucial and useful. The problems involving fluid flow over stretching or shrinking surfaces can be found in many industrial manufacturing processes such as hot rolling, paper production and spinning of fibers. Owing to the numerous applications, the study of stretching/shrinking sheet was subsequently extended by many authors to explore various aspects of skin friction coefficient and heat transfer in a fluid. Besides that, the study of suction/injection on the boundary layer flow also has important applications in the field of aerodynamics and space science.Originality/valueAlthough many studies on viscous fluid has been investigated, there is still limited discoveries found on the heat source and suction/injection effects. Indeed, this paper managed to obtain the second (dual) solutions and stability analysis is performed. The authors believe that all the results are original and have not been published elsewhere.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to theoretically investigate the unsteady separated stagnation-point flow and heat transfer past an impermeable stretching/shrinking sheet in a copper (Cu)-water nanofluid using the mathematical nanofluid model proposed by Tiwari and Das. Design/methodology/approach A similarity transformation is used to reduce the governing partial differential equations to a set of nonlinear ordinary (similarity) differential equations which are then solved numerically using the function bvp4c from Matlab for different values of the governing parameters. Findings It is found that the solution is unique for stretching case; however, multiple (dual) solutions exist for the shrinking case. Originality/value The authors believe that all numerical results are new and original, and have not been published elsewhere.
