Abstract
The ongoing work investigates the features of Joule heating and convective condition over a magnetohydrodynamic stagnation point flow of [Formula: see text] nanofluid moving across a curved surface. Moreover, mass suction is supposed through the stretching/shrinking surface. The initially developed model of partial differential equations is transformed into the ordinary ones assisted by suitable similarity variables. Subsequently, the ultimate nonlinear model of ordinary differential equations is solved with the help of a built-in function bvp4c package in MATLAB. Several graphical results are plotted to see the influence of various dimensionless parameters over the velocity, temperature, heat transfer, and friction drag. We found that there exists an escalation in temperature with increasing values of curvature, Eckert number, Hartmann number, and Biot number; however, the velocity profile declines with large curvature, ratio parameter, and high concentration of nanoparticles. It is also important to note that the friction drag rises with the mass suction, and reduces with vast curvature, whereas the rate of heat transfer improves with suction and Biot number but lowers with Eckert number and Hartmann number.
