The problem of thermal Marangoni convection boundary layer flow in ferrofluid with the presence of radiation and suction is evaluated in this paper. This study considered magnetite ferroparticle (Fe3O4) in two different base fluids, which are water and kerosene. The method of the solution involves similarity transformation, which reduces the governing partial differential equations to a system of an ordinary differential equation. Then, the equations are solved utilizing built-in bvp4c function in MATLAB software. The impacts of the suction parameter and thermal radiation parameter concerning the velocity profiles, temperature profiles, surface velocity and heat transfer are illustrated in graphs and tables. It is revealed that the suction parameter reduces the velocity profiles, temperature profiles and surface velocity. However, the heat transfer increases with the suction parameter; meanwhile, the thermal radiation parameter increases the temperature profiles. However, it reduces heat transfer. The same trends are observed in both water and kerosene ferrofluid. Nevertheless, higher heat transfer is observed in kerosene-based ferrofluid

This research examines the characteristics of the boundary layer in the occurrence of dust particles within the ferrofluid boundary layer, aiming to understand the impact of stagnation flow or without stagnation flow in such systems. For this purpose, ferroparticles, namely magnetite (Fe3O4), are taken into consideration with kerosene and water as base fluids. The governing partial differential equations of the problem under consideration are converted into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) through the utilization of similarity transformations. Here, the equations obtained are then numerically solved utilizing MATLAB's built-in bvp4c solver. Moreover, the parameters’ effects, namely the dust particle loading, volume fraction of ferroparticles, and Eckert number to the flow with and without stagnation flow are computed and shown through tables and graphs. The findings indicate that the skin friction coefficient values for the stagnation-point flow are higher than those without stagnation-point flow. The Eckert number increases temperature profiles for both flows but more prominent in the flow without stagnation-point.
