Nonlinear Radiative Unsteady Flow of a Non-Newtonian Fluid Past a Stretching Surface

摘要

Analysis of nonlinear radiative heat transfer on the MHD Maxwell fluid flow in the boundary layers adjacent to a sheet with continuous stretching is discussed. Numerical solution of the PDEs governing the flow is obtained by the successive application of suitable similarity variables and BVP4c method. The flow variables, surface frictional coefficient, and local gradients of temperature and concentration are discussed through the graphs and tables. Results of the present analysis are compared with the previously published work and are found to be in close agreement.
