Abstract
In this work, the impact of a heat source on the thin-film ferrofluid flow over an unstable stretching sheet in the presence of an external magnetic field has been examined. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations by similarity transformation. The resultant system of ordinary differential equations is solved numerically through shooting technique involving Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg (RKF45) method. To improve the initial guess values, the Newton-Raphson method is used. The significance of magnetization parameter, Prandtl number and heat source parameter on the flow and heat transmission process have been graphically analysed. The decrease in film thickness is observed for growing values of heat source parameter.
