MHD stagnation point flow of Casson fluid over a convective stretching sheet considering thermal radiation, slip condition, and viscous dissipation

This study presents the problem of MHD stagnation point flow of Casson fluid over a convective stretching sheet considering thermal radiation, slip condition, and viscous dissipation. The partial differential equations with the corresponding boundary conditions that govern the fluid flow are reduced to a system of highly nonlinear ordinary differential equations using scaling group transformations. The fourth-order method along shooting technique is applied to solve this system of boundary value problems numerically. The effects of flow parameters on the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are presented via graphs. The impact of the physical parameters on the skin friction coefficient reduced Nusselt numbers and reduced Sherwood numbers are investigated through tables. Comparison of the present findings with the previously published results in the literature shows an excellent agreement. It is also noted that a rise in the Eckert number results in a drop in the temperature of the fluid in the thermal boundary layer region of the fluid flow.
