Local similarity solutions of mixed convection stagnation point flow in nanofluid over a vertical stretching or shrinking surface / Noor Adila Othman

The problem of mixed convection boundary-layer flow near a stagnation-point on a perme able and an impermeable stretching or shrinking vertical surfaces immersed in a nanofluid with constant wall temperature and convective boundary condition have been discussed throughout the research. The nanofluid...
