Stagnation point flow of MHD dusty fluid toward stretching sheet with convective surface

Abstract

This paper presents the study of stagnation point of hydromagnetic flow of dusty fluid over a stretching sheet with the bottom surface of sheet heated by convection from hot fluid. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformation. These resulting nonlinear ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by using Runge-Kutta Fehlberg fourth-fifth order method (RKF45 Method). The characteristics of velocity and temperature profiles of hydromagnetic fluid flow of dusty fluid are analyzed and discussed for different parameters of interest such as convective Biot number, fluid-particle interaction parameter, magnetic parameter, ratio of free stream velocity parameter and Prandtl number on the flow. The numerical results are compared with previous published results for validation
