Abstract: In the present paper, the effects of an inclined magnetic field and a non-uniform heat source sink on a double diffusive convective stagnation point flow in a slender stretching sheet are studied. The suitable similarity transformation is utilized for the conversion of nonlinear differential equations. These converted equations are solved by means of Differential Transformation method (DTM) with the support of symbolic software Mathematica. Further, the effects of appropriate parameters on velocity profile, solute, nanoparticle concentration and temperature profiles are shown graphically with some suitable discussions. It is found that velocity decreases with a rise of magnetic parameter. Because applying the uniform magnetic field normal to the flow direction gives rise to Lorentz force. This force has the tendency to slow down the velocity of the fluid in the boundary layer. Also non-uniform heat source sink parameters enhance the thermal profile of the system. But, opposite behavior can be seen in solute and nanoparticle concentration profiles. Such results can be useful in design and structure of materials, where implementation of variable thickness decreases the weight of stretched element and boosts the usage of materials.
