| description | This article is devoted to examine the mixed convection stagnation point flow of Carreau fluid with thermal radiation and chemical reaction. Heat transfer analysis is taken into account in the presence of heat generation/absorption. The developed nonlinear partial differential equations are reduced into the ordinary differential equations by suitable transformations. The governing equations are solved for the series solutions. The convergence of the series solutions for velocity, temperature and concentration fields is carefully analyzed. Numerical values of skin friction coefficient, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are also computed and discussed in the presence of various sundry parameters. A comparative study is provided with the limiting available solution. It is concluded that velocity field enhances for material parameter. Reverse observation of heat generation holds for thermal field and local Nusselt number. Moreover influence of destructive chemical reaction parameter on the concentration and local Sherwood number are quite reverse. Keywords: Carreau fluid, Stagnation point flow, Mixed convection, Thermal radiation, Heat generation/absorption |
