Radiation and Magneticfield Effects on Unsteady Mixed Convection Flow over a Vertical Stretching/Shrinking Surface with Suction/Injection

Abstract

Present paper deals with the influence of radiation and magneticfiled on an unsteady mixed convection flow over a vertical stretching/shrinking sheet with suction/injection effects in presence of variable viscosity and viscous dissipation. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation and solved numerically using bvp5c Matlab package. The effects of non-dimensional governing parameters on velocity, temperature profiles along with the local skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are discussed and presented through graphs and tables.

Keywords: MHD, Radiation, Dissipation, Stretching/shrinking, Suction/injection.
