Abstract:
The current research endows the mathematical modeling for the stagnation point flow along with melting nonlinear radiative heat transfer for cross fluid. It has many applications such as synthesis of polymer solutions, plastic manufacturing, food processing, preparation of synthesis, adhesives, etc. A radially stretching sheet has started the flow keeping the assumption of rotational symmetry. Transformation approach is adopted to attain the nonlinear ordinary differential equations based on standard conservation laws of mass, linear momentum and also energy. Numerical solutions of the governing problem are computed via the shooting technique. Characteristics of the parameters appearing in modeling like the melting parameter, power–law index, local Weissenberg number, nonlinear radiation parameter, temperature ratio parameter and Prandtl number are comprehensively analyzed through graphical behavior. In addition, comparative analysis is presented for the cases when the value of free stream velocity overtops the stretching velocity and vice versa. Results are authenticated by taking special cases and excellent compatibility is achieved with the existing literature. The detailed analysis anticipates that the boundary layer structures could be strengthened by growing the melting parameter. Elevation in Weissenberg number caused velocity along with temperature profiles to demonstrate for [Formula: see text]. Further, the temperature behaves oppositely analogous to development in nonlinear radiation parameter besides the temperature ratio parameter.
