摘      要：The paper examines the melting heat transfer in magnetohydrodynamic(MHD)stagnation point flow of a nanofluid past a stretching *** layer theory is employed to simplify the system of partial differential equations of motion,energy and concentration to three coupled non-linear ordinary differential *** non-linear ordinary differential equations and their boundary conditions are changed into dimensionless form by using suitable similarity variables before numerically solved using fourth order Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method along with shooting *** effect of pertinent parameters on different flow fields are determined and discussed in detail through several plots and *** numerical results are obtained for velocity,temperature and concentration *** is found that the skin friction coefficient and Sherwood number decrease with an increase in B and M ***,the local Nusselt number-θ′(0)increases with an increase in B and ***,the results are compared and found to be in good agreement with the previously published results in limiting cases of the problem.
