Analysis Of Magnetohydrodynamics Forced Convection Stagnation Point Flow Through A Permeable Medium With Thermal Radiation And Thermal Slip Effects Using Optimal Homotopy Analysis

Abstract

In this study, analysis of thermal radiation and thermal slip effects on heat transfer in stagnation point flow over a permeable flat plate is considered. The governing continuity, momentum and energy equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations using the similarity transformations and solved analytically by Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method. The effect of various physical parameters such as suction/blowing parameter, Eckert number, thermal slip parameter, magnetic parameter, velocity slip parameter, permeability parameter, wall temperature exponent, Prandtl number on velocity and temperature of fluid flow profile. were analyzed and displayed graphically using MATLAB software.
