Stagnation point flow, heat transfer and species transfer over a shrinking sheet with coupled Stefan blowing effects from species transfer

The problem of stagnation-point flow and heat transfer with the effect of the blowing from species transfer over an impermeable shrinking sheet is studied. The governing boundary layer equations are transformed into the ordinary differential equations using the similarity transformations which are then solved numerically using the bvp4c function in Matlab. The focus of this study is the effect of the blowing parameter to the velocity of the flow, the rate of heat transfer and the mass of species transfer over a flat surface of shrinking sheet. From the numerical results, it is found that the blowing parameter substantially affects the flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics.
