Abstract
This study analyses the stagnation point flow of a non-Newtonian fluid past a stretching sheet, incorporating a non-Fourier heat flux model. By applying similarity transformations, the momentum, energy, and concentration equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations. The numerical solution is obtained using the shooting method combined with the MATLAB software. The energy equation integrates the Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model. Velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are examined for various fluid parameters, while key physical quantities such as the friction coefficient and Nusselt number are computed. Results indicate that an increase in the Williamson parameter enhances the Nusselt number while reducing the skin friction coefficient.
