Influence of Porosity and Magnetic Field with Dissipative Heat Transfer Flow over a Stretching Surface through UCM Fluid

Abstract

The purpose of present analysis is to examine the effects of transverse magnetic field within a boundary layer of an upper-Convected Maxwell (UCM) fluid over a stretching surface through porous media. The requisite partial differential equations are converted into ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformations. Resultant equations are highly non-linear which cannot be solved analytically. Hence those equations are solved numerically by using efficient numerical shooting technique with fourth order Runge-Kutta method. The main aim of the present work is to analyze the effect of elastic parameter β, magnetic parameter Mn and thermal conductivity k₂ on the temperature field above the sheet. The previous results are compared with our present results and are shown in tabulation and represented graphically
