ADOMIAN DECOMPOSTION METHOD FOR HEAT TRANSFER AND HEAT SOURCE IN MHD FLOW OVER A STRETCHING SHEET

Abstract

In this paper, the boundary layer equation of heat transfer of a free convective MHD  flow with temperature dependent heat source of a viscous incompressible fluid, over a stretching sheet is studied. Nonlinear governing partial differential equations have been transformed to a set of ordinary differential equations using similarity transformation .The set of ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM).The results are presented graphically for  governing parameters such as magnetic and heat source.
