Numerical Analysis on Stagnation Point Flow of Micropolar Nanofluid with Thermal Radiations over an Exponentially Stretching Surface

Several industrial developments such as polymer extrusion in metal spinning and continuous metal casting include energy transmission and flow over a stretchy surface. In this paper, the stagnation point flow of micropolar nanofluid over a slanted surface is presenting also considering the influence of thermal radiations. Buongiorno’s nanoliquid model is deployed to recover the thermophoretic effects. By using similarity transformations, the governing boundary layer equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations. The Keller-box approach is used to solve transformed equations numerically. The numerical outcomes are presented in tabular and graphical form. A comparison of the outcomes attained with previously published results is done after providing the entire formulation of the Keller-Box approach for the flow problem under consideration. It has been found that the reduced sherwood number grows for increasing values of radiation parameter while, reduced Nusselt number and skin friction coefficient decreases. Furthermore, the skin-friction coefficient increases as the inclination factor increases, but Nusselt and Sherwood's numbers decline.
