Heat transfer on MHD viscous flow over a stretching sheet with prescribed heat flux


A. Adhikari, D. C. Sanyal




A steady three-dimensional Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer viscous flow and heat transfer due to a permeable stretching sheet with prescribed surface heat flux is studied in presence of a uniform applied magnetic field transverse to the flow. Using the implicit finite-difference scheme, known as the Keller-box method, the nonlinear ordinary differential equations are solved. The velocity and temperature profiles, skin friction coefficient and wall temperature are discussed for various parameters.
