Abstract
The present study deals with MHD mixed convection stagnation point flow over a stretching sheet with the effects of heat source/sink and viscous dissipation including convective boundary conditions. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations by applying similarity transformations. These equations are then solved numerically by using finite difference scheme known as the Keller Box method. The effects of various parameters on velocity and temperature profiles are presented graphically interpreted and the results are discussed.
Highlights
The study of MHD, boundary layer flow with heat transfer from a stretching sheet has several applications in many industrial fields
Crane [2] first investigated the flow of an incompressible fluid over a linearly stretching sheet
Boundary layer flow behaviour on continuous solid surface moving at a constant speed is investigated by Sakiadas [3]
Summary
The study of MHD, boundary layer flow with heat transfer from a stretching sheet has several applications in many industrial fields. Magnetic fields can be used to manage thermal energy in flowing electrically conducting polymers (Garnier [1]). Crane [2] first investigated the flow of an incompressible fluid over a linearly stretching sheet. Boundary layer flow behaviour on continuous solid surface moving at a constant speed is investigated by Sakiadas [3]. Chakrabarthi and Gupta [4] discussed heat transfer of hydromagnetic flow over a stretching sheet. Heat transfer over a continuous, stretching surface with suction/blowing is investigated by Chen and Char [5].
