Numerical analysis of flow and heat transfer in a thin film along an unsteady stretching cylinder

Abstract

In this framework, the boundary-layer mass and heat flow in a liquid film over an unsteady stretching cylinder are discussed under the influence of a magnetic field. By means of the similarity transformations the highly non-linear governing system of PDE is converted to ODE. We use the built-in function bvp4c in MATLAB to solve this system of ODE. The impact of distinctive parameters on velocity and temperature profile in the existence of an external magnetic field is depicted via graphs and deep analysis is also presented.
