Abstract

Melting heat transfer and non-Darcy porous medium effects in MHD stagnation point flow toward a stretching surface of variable thickness are addressed. Brownian motion and thermophoresis in nanofluid modeling are retained. Zero mass flux condition for concentration at surface is imposed. The problem of ordinary differential system are analyzed numerically through shooting technique. Graphically results of various physical variables on the velocity, temperature and concentration are studied. Skin friction coefficient local Nusselt number and Sherwood number are also addressed through tabulated values. The results described here illustrate that the velocity field is higher via larger melting parameter. However reverse situation is examined for Hartman number. Moreover the influence of thermophoresis parameter on temperature and concentration is noted similar.
