Abstract :
The emphasis of this research is on the effects of heat generation/absorption on MHD nanofluid flow over a stretchable surface. The influence of Prandtl number, solar radiation, as well as other physical parameters are all taken into account in relation to the heat generation/absorption. The boundary layer approximation alongside similarity transformation are used to turn the governing system of partial differential equations into an ordinary differential system, which is then solved numerically using the Runge- Kutta- Fehlberg method and the Shooting approach. The focus of this study is on the effects of heat generation/absorption on MHD nanofluid flow with a two-dimensional stagnation point along a stretchy surface. Magnetic fields, sun radiation, and other physical characteristics all have an impact. Graphs are used to study and assess the consequences of various physical characteristics. Temperature, nanoparticle concentration and Nusselt number are all rapidly decreasing functions, according to the information. When the heat generation/absorption parameter is continued to increase, the momentum fluctuates.
