Stagnation Point Flow of Non-Newtonian Fluid and Heat Transfer over a Stretching/Shrinking Sheet in a Porous Medium

Abstract

The Study of stagnation Point flow and heat transfer Phenomena is considered in this paper. We used suitable similarity transformation to reduce governing partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. These equation are non-linear differential equations which are solved numerically using Runge Kutta Fourth order method with efficient  shooting technique .The flow and temperature behaviour are analysed through graphs .The numerical values  of skin friction  coefficient and Local Nusselt are calculated, tabulated   and discussed.

Keywords: Casson Fluid, Stagnation point flow, Heat transfer, Shrinking/streaching sheet, Skin Friction coefficient, Porous medium.
