Abstract

The effect of chemical reaction parameter on magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow of nanofluid past an exponentially stretching sheet is presented. An appropriate set of similarity transformations are used to transform the governing partial differential equations (PDEs) into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The resulting system of ODEs is solved numerically by using the 4th order Adam’s - Moultan method along with shooting technique. The numerical results are analyzed by graphs for different parameters which appear in the solution affecting the MHD mixed convection stagnation point.
