Abstract

The Current article aims to accentuate the impact of the flow and transfer of heat in nanofluid by magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) over a stretching sheet near a stagnation point. In this analysis, the mathematical model employs the electric field, thermophoresis, and Brownian motion. The governing coupled partial non-linear differential equations are converted into the structure of ordinary differential non-linear equations by using similarity transformations, and those are solved by using the shooting technique. The results of the current study compared numerically for special cases with earlier published results. The impact of various parameters on the flow of fluids, the solutal concentration, temperature, velocity, and concentration of nanoparticle discussed through graphs. The velocity profile increases with increasing the electric field. If the velocity ratio parameter and the electrical field are increased, then temperature profiles decreased. The skin friction, dimensionless reduced Sherwood number, and nanoparticle Sherwood numbers decrease with increasing the velocity ratio parameter.
