Abstract

Mathematical model of unsteady boundary layer flow and heat transfer is explored for analyzing the study of influence of thermal radiation on incompressible viscous electrically conducting fluid over continuous stretching surface embedded in a porous medium in the presence of heat source/sink. The scope of influencing parameters that describing phenomenon are determined and governing time dependent boundary layer equations are transformed to ordinary differential equations by using appropriate similarity transformation. Numerical computation of the problem was carried out by shooting iteration technique together with Runge-Kutta fourth order integration scheme. Effects of unsteadiness parameter, permeability parameter, magnetic parameter, thermal radiation parameter, Prandtl number and heat source/sink parameter on velocity and temperature profiles are computed and illustrated graphically, whereas local skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number are represented numerically through tables. In nonmagnetic flow condition the result is found in concordance with earlier investigations.
