The present analysis deals with the study of two-dimensional stagnation-point flow and heat transfer from a warm, laminar liquid flow of a nanofluid towards a melting stretching sheet. Using similarity transformations, the governing differential equations were transformed into coupled, nonlinear ordinary differential equations, which were then solved numerically by using the Runge-Kutta fourth-order method along with the shooting technique for two types of nanoparticles namely copper (Cu) and silver (Ag) in the water-based fluid with Prandtl number Pr = 6.2, the skin friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number, the velocity and the temperature profiles are presented graphically and discussed.
