Unsteady flow of an Eyring-Powell nanofluid near stagnation point past a convectively heated stretching sheet

Abstract The motive of this paper is to explore the influence of unsteady flow near a stagnation-point comprising Eyring-Powell nanoliquid over a convectively-heated stretched surface. The highly non-linear PDEs are transmuted into ODEs through similarity transformation before being settled numerically via the shooting technique. The numerical outcomes of prominent parameters are examined by a graphical representation and in tabular form. It is investigated that velocity profile shows an increasing behaviour due to the stretched parameter, while the conflicting effect is examined on temperature distribution and concentration of nanoparticle. Finally, we compare our results with the available literature and found this to be in excellent agreement
