Transpiration effects on stagnation flow towards a stretching sheet with induced magnetic field

Abstract

In this study, we analyzed the effect of suction/injection on stagnation-point flow towards a stretching sheet with heat source/sink and induced magnetic field. The nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using self-suitable transformations, which are then solved numerically using bvp4c Matlab package. The effects of various physical parameters like magnetic field parameter , heat source/sink parameter and stretching ratio  etc. on velocity, induced magnetic field and temperature profiles are presented and discussed with the help of graphs. It is found that rising values of heat source/sink parameter declines the temperature filed.

Key words: Induced magnetic field, suction/injection, heat source/sink, stretching sheet.
