Stagnation flow of nanofluid embedded with dust particles over an inclined stretching sheet with induced magnetic field and suction

In this study, we analyzed the buoyancy-driven MHD mixed convection stagnation-point flow of nanofluid embedded with dust particles over an inclined non-isothermal stretching sheet in the presence of induced magnetic field, non-uniform heat source/sink and suction. Two types of nanofluids namely Cu-water and Al₂O₃-water embedded with conducting dust particles is considered. The basic governing partial differential equations are reduced into a set of ordinary differential equations by using appropriate transformation. The resulting system is solved numerically by using Runge-Kutta based shooting technique. The influence of non-dimensional governing parameters on velocity profiles of the fluid and dust phases, induced magnetic field profiles, temperature profiles, coefficient of skin friction and local Nusselt number was discussed and presented with the help of graphs. Results indicate that rise in the fluid particle interaction depreciates the friction factor and increases the heat transfer rate. It is also noticed that a rise in the value of inclined angle enhances the velocity boundary layer along with the induced magnetic field profiles.
