Abstract : The problem of boundary layer steady stagnation-point flow of nanofluids past shrinking sheet with heat generation and viscous dissipation is studied. The governing system of partial differential equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations using similarity method. The equations are then solved numerically using bvp4c solver in Matlab software. Three types of nanoparticles namely Copper Cu , Titania   TiO2 and Alumina   Al2O3 are considered in this study. It is reveals that dual solutions exist in our observations. Further, we performed a stability analysis to identify which solution is stable between these two.
