HEAT-TRANSFER ANALYSIS OF MHD FLOW DUE TO A PERMEABLE SHRINKING SHEET EMBEDDED IN A POROUS MEDIUM WITH INTERNAL HEAT GENERATION

摘要

The Adomian decomposition method with Pade approximants is employed in this study as a simple, non-perturbative alternative to solve the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary-layer flow due to a permeable shrinking sheet embedded in a porous medium. The effects of internal heat generation in the flow are considered. The effects of suction on skin friction and heat-transfer rate at different Pade approximants are tabulated, while the effects of various parameters on the flow velocity and temperature are discussed and presented graphically.
