Abstract
This article addresses the melting heat transfer is stagnation point flow of nanofluid towards a stretching surface with nonlinear thermal radiation. Heat transfer phenomenon also takes into account heat generation/absorption. Newly constructed mass flux condition is employed. Nanofluid model consists of Brownian motion and thermophoresis. Fluid is electrically conducting in the presence of applied an inclined magnetic field. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed to nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using appropriate transformation. The convergent series solution are worked out by employing homotopic procedure. Behaviors of different physical parameters on the velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number are analyzed.
