This work focuses on the characteristics of heat sink-source and melting phenomena for time-dependent Falkner-Skan flow of Cross nanofluid. Additionally, stagnation point flow features are accounted. Modeling is based on thermophoresis diffusion and Brownian moment slip mechanisms. Zero mass flux condition is used at stretchable surface. Compact form of cross fluid equations are converted to component form by employing boundary layer concept. Appropriate transformations are engaged to give rise ODEs. Moreover, system of ODEs is tackled numerically. Detailed discussion for velocity, temperature, concentration, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers is presented through graphs. Obtained statistical data reveals that velocity of cross nanoliquid boosts for larger melting and velocity ratio parameters. Intensification in Schmidt number corresponds to rise in concentration distribution.
