Stagnation-point flow and mass transfer with chemical reaction past a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet in a nanofluid

A numerical study has been conducted to investigate the steady forced convection stagnation point-flow and mass transfer past a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet placed in a copper (Cu)- water based nanofluid. The system of partial differential equations is transformed, using appropriate transfor...
