Abstract
The analysis of heat transfer of a hybrid nanofluid [Formula: see text] in the MHD stagnation point motion toward an exponentially expanding/shrinking sheet with a nonuniform heat source/sink, multiple slip conditions and nonlinear thermal radiation effects are carried out in this study. By applying the similarity transformation, the governing equations are transformed into Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs). The Runge–Kutta method using bvp4c in MATLAB software is implemented to explain the ODEs. The results show that the local Nusselt number is decreased while the skin friction coefficient remains unaltered by the accumulation of thermal slip, space, and temperature-dependent parameters.
