Particular non-axisymmetric Homann stagnation point flow of Walter’s B fluid over a vertical cylindrical disk is considered in this work. Important physical aspects of newly transient state problem are described by incorporating the effects of magnetic field and mixed convection. Additionally, the temperature and solute concentration are expressed with new parameters in the form of Brownian motion, thermophoretic force, thermal radiation, and 1st order chemical reaction. Furthermore, the problem is modeled with non-linear PDE’s, and which are further converted into ODE’s along with the proposed geometric conditions. Exploration of new physical impacts are described in the form of velocity, temperature, concentration, and displacement thicknesses by applying numerical scheme. However, the momentum equation subjected to the insufficient boundary conditions converting us to apply perturbation technique to reduce the order of ODE accordingly. It is conducted that displacement thicknesses [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] tends to its asymptotic value, as [Formula: see text] On the other hand, the displacement thickness [Formula: see text] is found in reverse trends, for the same escalating values of viscoelastic parameter. The skin friction [Formula: see text] variation against viscoelastic parameter is noticed with uplifting trend when [Formula: see text] and vice versa, for [Formula: see text] Outcomes for the Nusselt and Sherwood numbers and rate of heat and mass transfer have been obtained and discussed for parametric variations of the buoyancy parameter ξ, magnetic parameter M, temperature ratio parameter, Brownian motion parameter [Formula: see text], thermophoresis parameter [Formula: see text] and 1st order chemical reaction Rc. Also, shows relative growth for the momentum and concentration profiles.

The present research focuses on nanoparticle suspensions and flow properties in the context of their applications. The application of these materials in biological rheological models has piqued the attention of many researchers. Magneto nanoparticles have an important function in controlling the viscoelastic physiognomies of ferrofluid flows. Having such substantial interest in the flow of ferroliquids our vision is to discuss the stagnation point flow of ferromagnetic Oldroyd-B nanofluid through a stretching sheet. The Buongiorno nanofluid model with Brownian motion and thermophoretic properties is examined. A chemical reaction effect and porous medium is also taken into account. Moreover, the modelled equations are changed to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using suitable similarity transformations. Which are then solved using classical Runge-Kutta (RK) process with shooting technique. The solutions for the flow, thermal, concentration, skin friction, rate of heat and mass transfer features are attained numerically and presented graphically. The significant results of the current study are that, the growing values of ferromagnetic interaction parameter and porosity parameter declines the velocity profile. The rising values of chemical reaction rate parameter and Brownian motion parameter declines the mass transfer but inverse behaviour is seen for augmented values of thermophoresis parameter.
