AbstractThe present article dicusses the computational analysis of entropy generation for the stagnation-point flow of Sutterby nanofluid over a linear stretching plate. The Sutterby fluid is chosen to study the effect for three major classes of non-Newtonian fluids, i.e. pseudoplastic, Newtonian, and dilatant. The effects of pertinent physical parameters are examined under the approximation of boundary layer. The system of coupled nonlinear partial differential equations is simplified by incorporating suitable similarity transformation into a system of non-linear-coupled ordinary differential equations. Entropy generation analysis is conducted numerically, and the results are displayed through graphs and tables. Significant findings are listed in the closing remarks.

In the present study, an analytical analysis has been carried out to investigate the MHD stagnation-point flow and heat transfer past a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet in a porous medium in the presence of thermal radiation. Similarity transformations have been employed to simplify the momentum and energy equations into coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The resulting nonlinear ordinary differential equations are then solved analytically through BVPh 2.0 Mathematica package based on homotopy analysis method (HAM). Effects of various parameters such as Prandtl number, permeability parameter, magnetic parameter, suction/blowing parameter, stretching/shrinking parameter, radiation parameter and wall temperature exponent on velocity and/or temperature profiles are explored and discussed graphically. Our results have been compared with the available literature and have been found in excellent agreement. This study may have applications in metallurgy industry and aerodynamic extrusion of plastic sheet.

The problem of steady laminar three-dimensional stagnation-point flow on a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet with second order slip flow model is studied numerically. Similarity transformation has been used to reduce the governing system of nonlinear partial differential equations into the system of ordinary (similarity) differential equations. The transformed equations are then solved numerically using the \texttt{bvp4c} function in MATLAB. Multiple solutions are found for a certain range of the governing parameters. The effects of the governing parameters on the skin friction coefficients and the velocity profiles are presented and discussed. It is found that the second order slip flow model is necessary to predict the flow characteristics accurately.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse numerically the steady stagnation-point flow of a viscous and incompressible fluid over continuously non-aligned stretching or shrinking surface in its own plane in a water-based nanofluid which contains three different types of nanoparticles, namely, Cu, Al2O3 and TiO2. Design/methodology/approach – Similarity transformation is used to convert the system of boundary layer equations which are in the form of partial differential equations into a system of ordinary differential equations. The system of similarity governing equations is then reduced to a system of first-order differential equations and solved numerically using the bvp4c function in Matlab software. Findings – Unique solution exists when the surface is stretched and dual solutions exist as the surface shrunk. For the dual solutions, stability analysis has revealed that the first solution (upper branch) is stable and physically realizable, while the second solution (lower branch) is unstable. The effect of non-alignment is huge for the shrinking surface which is in contrast with the stretching surface. Practical implications – The results obtained can be used to explain the characteristics and applications of nanofluids, which are widely used as coolants, lubricants, heat exchangers and micro-channel heat sinks. This problem also applies to some situations such as materials which are manufactured by extrusion, production of glass-fibre and shrinking balloon. In this kind of circumstance, the rate of cooling and the stretching/shrinking process play an important role in moulding the final product according to preferable features. Originality/value – The present results are original and new for the study of fluid flow and heat transfer over a stretching/shrinking surface for the problem considered by Wang (2008) in a viscous fluid and extends to nanofluid by using the Tiwari and Das (2007) model.

The steady two-dimensional stagnation-point flow of an incompressible viscous fluid over an exponentially shrinking/stretching sheet is studied. The shrinking/stretching velocity, the free stream velocity, and the surface temperature are assumed to vary in a power-law form with the distance from the stagnation point. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations before being solved numerically by a finite difference scheme known as the Keller-box method. The features of the flow and heat transfer characteristics for different values of the governing parameters are analyzed and discussed. It is found that dual solutions exist for the shrinking case, while for the stretching case, the solution is unique.

Purpose. The flow of nonviscous Casson fluid is examined in this study over an oscillating surface. The model of the fluid flow has been inspected in the presence of oblique stagnation point flow. The scrutiny is subsumed for the Riga plate by considering the effects of magnetohydrodynamics. The Riga plate is considered as an electromagnetic lever which carries eternal magnets and a stretching line up of alternating electrodes coupled on a plane surface. We have considered nonboundary layer two-dimensional incompressible flow of the fluid. The fluid flow model is analyzed in the fixed frame of reference. Motivation. The motivation of achieving more suitable results has always been a quest of life for scientists; the capability of determining the boundary layer of flow on aircraft which either stays laminar or turns turbulent has encouraged the researcher to study compressible flow in depth. The compressible fluid with boundary layer flow has been utilized by numerous researchers to reduce skin friction and enhance thermal and convectional heat exchange. Design/Approach/Methodology. The attained partial differential equations will be critically inspected by using suitable similarity transformation to transform these flows thrived equations into higher nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODE). Then, these equations of motion are intercepted by mathematical techniques such as the bvp4c method in Maple and Matlab. The graphical and tabular representation of different parameters is also given. Findings. The behavior of β and modified Hartmann number M increases by positively increasing the values of both parameters for F η , while ω decreases with increasing the values of ω for F η . The graph of β shows upward behavior for distinct values for both G η and G ′ η for velocity portray. Prandtl number and β for the temperature profile of θ η and θ 1 η goes downward with increasing parameters.

The prime aim of this paper is to probe the flow of micropolar nanofluid towards an inclined stretching surface adjacent to the stagnation region with Brownian motion and thermophoretic impacts. The chemical reaction and heat generation or absorption are also taken into account. The energy and mass transport of the micropolar nanofluid flow towards an inclined surface are discussed. The numerical solution is elucidated for the converted non-linear ordinary differential equation from the set of partial nonlinear differential equations via compatible similarity transformations. A converted system of ordinary differential equations is solved via the Keller-box scheme. The stretching velocity and external velocity are supposed to change linearly by the distance from the stagnation point. The impacts of involved parameters on the concerned physical quantities such as skin friction, Sherwood number, and energy exchange are discussed. These results are drawn through the graphs and presented in the tables. The energy and mass exchange rates show a direct relation with the stagnation point. In the same vein, skin friction diminishes with the growth of the stagnation factor. Heat and mass fluxes show an inverse correspondence with the inclination factor.
