Abstract
In this paper, the effects of thermal radiation and viscous dissipation on a stagnation point flow and heat transfer over a flat stretching/shrinking surface in nanofluids are analyzed. The effects of suction/injection are also considered. Using a similarity transformation, the governing equations are transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The resulting system is then solved numerically by Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method with shooting technique. It is observed that the local Nusselt number increases with increment in the suction/injection parameter for stretching sheet whereas reverse effect is observed for shrinking sheet. It is found that skin-friction coefficient increases for both stretching/shrinking sheet with increase in volume fraction of the nanoparticles. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
