The Effects of Buoyancy, Magnetic Field and Thermal Radiation on the Flow and Heat Transfer due to an Exponentially Stretching Sheet

Abstract

The boundary layer flow and heat transfer across an exponentially stretched sheet with buoyancy, magnetic field, and thermal radiation are investigated. The similarity transformation is applied to the governing equations to generate nonlinear ordinary differential equations. They are resolved using a numerical technique referred to the Keller-box method. The impact of determined controlling parameters on flow and heat transfer characteristics are investigated. It has been discovered that the buoyancy parameter increases both the heat transfer rate and fluid flow from the exponentially extending sheet to the fluid.
