Opportunities for magnetohydrodynamic mixed convection include modeling firefighting, combustion engineering, and cooling of electronic components. Nanotechnology has just provided a novel passive technique for improving heat transfer. Structured colloidal suspensions of magnetite nanoparticles in a base fluid are known as magneto nanofluids, and they are intended for use in thermal transfer uses, such as micro device cooling mechanisms. The current model is intended for examination of the nanofluid stagnation point flow using magnetohydrodynamics. A stretched sheet was exposed to magnetic strength and thermal radiation effects with outstanding results on heat transfer enhancements under mixed convection conditions. Furthermore, over the boundary effects of thermal slip and velocity are considered. The persuading system of partial differential equations of the governed fluid model is transformed into a scheme of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations and expounded using a suitable numerical method. The fluid’s velocity, temperature, and concentration of nanoparticles are discussed graphically for a range of newly emerging parametric values. It has been noted that when there is a magnetic field, the fluid’s temperature increases, but its velocity decreases. After obtaining the numerical solution, parameters characterizing the flow, such as the local skin friction coefficient, local Sherwood number, and local Nusselt number, are thoroughly investigated.
1 Introduction
Stagnation is a state of zero velocity of the flow field with respect to a body and the fluid particles. In the fluid flow, there comes a point when fluid particles are dragged to rest on the surface for a moment, and this point is known as the stagnation point. According to the Bernoulli equation, stagnant pressure is at its highest level at these points when fluid’s velocity is zero. Nazar et al. (2004) examined the unsteady two-dimensional stagnation point flow of an incompressible viscous fluid across a deformable sheet. Pop et al. (2005) described how radiation has an impact on the flow near a stretching sheet’s stagnation point. They demonstrate the formation of a boundary layer, demonstrating how its thickness changes with variations in temperature, radiation, and velocity, and how it grows with the Prandtl number. Ishak et al. (2006) discussed the full characterization of an incompressible viscid electrically conductive fluid’s flow across an upright stretched sheet during a transverse uniform superconducting magnet instantaneous flow in two dimensions has been published. Layek et al. (2007) investigated the boundary layer stagnated flow with characteristics of heat transfer over an extending pane in a permeable intermediate in the presence of suction injection with internal heat generation/absorption. The stagnation point flow for various fluid models in various shapes and surfaces has been discussed by several writers; see References. The petrochemical manufacturing, polymerization, assembling, classification and features of polymers, and descriptions of key polymers are covered. Metal, metal oxide, carbide, nitride, and even immiscible nanoscale fluid particles can be established. Choi and Eastman (1995) completed the early research for the nanofluid. BUONGIORNO (2006) first proposed the concept of convective transport in nanofluids and demonstrated that nanofluids exhibit a greater thermal conductivity than base fluids. Khanafer et al. (2003) explored how nanofluids can improve heat transport in a two-dimensional enclosure for a variety of important factors. Makinde and Aziz (2011) surveyed the boundary layer flow that is caused in a nanofluid by a sheet that is linearly overextended. Nawaz et al. (2022) suggested that a modified scheme was put into practice for the mass and heat exchange of a chemically active fluid flow in a diagonal funnel. It had distinct orders in space and second orders in time. When various pressure differentials are applied, a stream is produced. The information in their representations demonstrate the mass transfer that occurs in the fluid at various moments as well as the heat transfer that occurs in the fluid due to overheated surfaces. Nawaz et al. (2022) also used the finite element approach to move the energy and mass in a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Maxwell nanofluid technology through an extensible sheet while accounting for the interaction of chemicals and thermal radiation.
As a result of random motion with the thermophoretic movement of nanosized fluid particles along with convective heating, the thermal boundary layer thickens when the local temperature increases. Aziz and Khan (2012) studied the naturally convective flow of a nanofluid over a vertical plate that was being heated by convection. The boundary layer stagnation-point flow on an extending pane was studied by Hamad and Ferdows (2012) in a very recent study on heat and mass transfer analysis. Martin and Boyd (2006) examined the momentum with slip effects and heat transfer in a laminar boundary layer. The findings of Uddin et al. (2012) developed a collection scaling conversion for the MHD boundary layer slip flow of a nanofluid on a stretched pane that is convectively heated. In a very recent study by Haq et al. (2015), influences of magnetohydrodynamic with thermal slip limitations on a double-diffusive nanofluid flow with free convection along a semi-infinite horizontal compacted upright plate were examined numerically. A. Shafiq et al. (2022) examined the flow of thermally generated thixotropic nanoparticles by integrating descriptive flow characteristics and also discussed little heat effectiveness for base fluids where a machine learning method has assembled a numerical inquiry on the thermally operation of graphene oxide-containing water/ethylene glycol-based small-molecule fluids with the impact of both the electromagnet hydrodynamic and Darcy–Forchheimer interface (Shafiq et al., 2023). The researchers Khan and Pop (2010), Khan et al. (2013), Nadeem et al. (2013), Nadeem et al. (2013), Akbar et al. (2014), Haq et al. (2014), Nadeem et al. (2014), Nadeem and Hussain (2014), Ramesh and Gireesha (2014), Nawaz et al. (2022b), Nawaz et al. (2022), and Reddy et al. (2022), by utilizing similarity transformation, noticed heat transferal influences on the Maxwell fluid over an extending surface in the presence of nanoparticles. A few more recent studies are listed that describe the characteristics of nanofluid.
The results show that when utilizing nanofluids instead of base fluids, the thermal conductivity and conductive heat transfer coefficients increase. Heat exchangers can be used for a variety of cooling and heating operations since nanofluids have a higher thermal performance than water.
However, there are some instances where this similarity conversion did not work and it was unable to obtain a transformed dimensionless system; this can be solved with a newly introduced transformation called “non-similarity” transformation. In the late 20th century, Sparrow et al. (1970) presented a non-similarity transformation. This method convoluted two independent variables: pseudo-similar and non-similar. This technique is used for reducing partial differential equations (PDEs) to one dimension and to make the problem dimensionless. Merely few choices are available connected to non-similar courses. You et al. (2010) discussed these types of non-similar solutions. Kousar and Mahmood (2013) debated a fluid flow over a wedge-shaped permeable medium and obtained a series solution via the non-similarity method. Farooq et al. (2015) also used non-similarity of the nanofluid flow to obtain a consistent solution. Farooq et al. (2020) considered features of entropy for inhomogeneous 3-D nanofluid flows in the occurrence of magnetic influence. Shukla et al. (2019) established a non-similar result for a non-Newtonian fluid by means of an indigenous non-similar way. Some more related literature studies can be seen (Nawaz et al., 2021; Nawaz et al., 2022; Nawaz et al., 2022a; Nawaz et al., 2022).
Current study’s major goal is to examine how thermal radiation and thermal slip interact to affect the nanofluid flow close to the stagnation point of the MHD boundary layer. Additionally, the impacts of slip velocity and the zero normal flow of a fluid in occurrence with nanoparticles at the surface are considered. The paper’s structure is set down in the following manner: the problem preparation and design are presented in Sections
2 Formation of a problem
Let us consider the two-dimensional incompressible laminar flow of a non-Newtonian viscid nanofluid approaching a stagnation point at a permeable exterior surface coincides with the horizontal plane
where
Using the radiation-based Rosseland approximation, the following equation is obtained:
where the Stefan–Boltzmann constant
The following slip boundary conditions exist:
2.1 The non-similarity transformation
A non-similarity technique is explored here for the solution of the governed problem by altering the governed dimensional system into a dimensionless system of partial differential equations. For this method, the non-similar flow transformation is considered as follows (40):

After introducing the new functions, Eqs 8–10 are converted.
Taking the derivatives of Eqs 15–17 with respect to ξ, following equations are obtained:
Skin frictions and the local Nusselt number are the relevant physical quantities; they are described as follows:
Here,
3 A mathematical procedure
The abovementioned transformation, i.e., the non-similarity technique producing a non-dimensional set of equations, must be determined numerically or analytically for its solution. The finite difference scheme is used here via an appropriate numerical solver like MATLAB to obtain solutions. The three-stage Lobatto III (a) formula is used by the MATLAB solver to solve the scheme of differential equations. The derived equations have two independent variables; hence, one independent variable was kept constant in order to solve these equations, and the remaining equations were transformed into standard differential equations. When using the MATLAB solver to solve equations, functions for solving differential equations along with boundary conditions were used while using the MATLAB.
A renowned numerical technique is the three-stage Lobatto IIIa formula which is being created using the bvp4c finite difference code. Subsequently, the bvp4c solver function is used to investigate stability. A class of continuous results that is consistently precise to the fourth order in the given domain is obtained using the collocation polynomial and this collocation formula. The continuous solution’s residual serves as the basis for both mesh selection and error control. Additionally, the relative error tolerance is set at
The information about differential equations is provided to the MATLAB solver, and the system of first-order ordinary differential equations with second- or higher-order differential equations must be used. Consequently, transformation into a system of first-order differential equations can be formulated as follows:

6 Conclusion
Enhancing heat transfer is a topic of current interest in many fields. A new type of heat transfer fluid called nanofluid may be an effective means of enhancing heat transmission. The flow properties need to be approximated by numerical research. The broad range of applications for MHD, from biological applications to renewable energy generation, has persuaded researchers of the significance of this impact to continue their investigation. In heat transferal infrastructure, mixed convection is a complex state that is essential to enhancing flow mixing and heat transfer operations. Technological and industrial applications in nature that display the mixed convection flow conduct are somewhat solar energy recipients displayed to atmospheric flows, gadgets chilled by fans, nuclear power plant emergency shutdown cooling, exchangers for energy positioned in low-velocity surroundings, and flows in the marine environment and ambiance.
The following significant conclusions can be obtained from the discoveries of the recent study:
• It has been noted that the velocity profile exhibits an increasing trend for the free stream velocity ratio.
• Furthermore, the notable phenomenon occurs when an increase in the Hartmann number causes the resistive flow to occur within the boundary layer; so the velocity profile exhibits a decreasing trend with an increase in M-value.
• The temperature profile is instead caused by radiation factors. We have discovered that the temperature profile is improved using the Hartmann number M and the slip parameter.
• The Lewis number and slip parameter increase and have an undesirable impression on the heat flux.
• Both the thermophoresis and Brownian motion parameters raise the fluid's temperature, but the thermophoresis parameter raises the concentration of nanoparticles while the Brownian motion parameter lowers it.
• The velocity of fluid increases for Grashof numbers and also for the Prandtl number; the temperature of fluid increases, but the concentration of the fluid drops down.
