MHD Effects And Heat Transfer On A Boundary Layer Flow Past A Stretching Plate With Heat Source/Sink In The Presence Of Viscous Dissipation

The boundary layer flow of incompressible electrically conducting fluid past a stretching plate in the presence of transverse magnetic field with heat transfer taking into the account the viscous dissipation effects is considered in this present study. The non-linear momentum boundary layer and heat transfer equations are converted into non-linear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. The resulting boundary value problem is solved numerically by an implicit finite difference scheme. The solution is found to be dependent on magnetic field parameter M, Source term S, Prandtl number Pr and Eckert number Ec . The results are shown graphically to illustrate the effects of these parameters on the fluid velocity and temperature distribution in the boundary layer.
