MHD and Mixed Convection Flow of Maxwell Fluid on Heat Transfer near a Stagnation Point Flow

The effects of thermal radiation and heat transfer of a Maxwell fluid near a mixed convection stagnation point flow over a moving surface in the presence of MHD has been studied. The governing differential equations are transformed into a set of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations and then solved with a numerical technique using appropriate boundary conditions for various physical parameters. The numerical solution for the governing non-linear boundary value problem is based on applying the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method coupled with the shooting technique using appropriate boundary conditions for various physical parameters. The effects of various parameters like the viscosity parameter, radiation parameter, mixed convection parameter, Deborah number, magnetic parameter and Prandtl number on the velocity and temperature profiles as well as on the local skin-friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number are presented and discussed.
