Flow and heat transfer of nanofluids at a stagnation point flow over a stretching/shrinking surface in a porous medium with thermal radiation

作者:

Highlights:

• Momentum boundary layer thickness decreases with an increase in ϕ, when a/c>1.

• Cu–water velocity is higher than Al2O3–water and TiO2–water for stretching and shrinking sheets.

• Skin-friction coefficient increases with increasing the value of volume fraction ϕ.

• Decrease in suction parameter s>0 decreases velocity profiles for Cu–water.

• Temperature for Cu–water increase with decreasing the suction parameter s>0.
