Heat and mass transfer in MHD stagnation-point flow toward an inclined stretching sheet embedded in a porous medium

The present study elucidates the magnetohydrodynamics boundary layer free convective stagnation-point flow toward an inclined nonlinearly stretching sheet embedded in a porous medium. The recent search explores the consequence of permeability of the medium, thermal as well as mass buoyancy, most importantly obliqueness, and thermal slip at the bounding surface. The solutions of the essential equations are achieved with MATLAB'S inbuilt solver bvp4c. The novelty of the present study is to account for the effect of dissipative heat, nonuniform space-dependent volumetric heat power, and a linear first-order chemical reaction of diffusive species and convective flow phenomena on an inclined plate subjected to thermal slip and space-dependent transverse magnetic field acting at a distance. The important findings are laid down as follows: The oblique-surface reduces the effect of body forces, low permeability of the medium causes instability in the flow due to sudden fall in velocity, Biot number contributes to the Newtonian cooling of the surface, these may be of use in a design requirement of the heat exchanger.
