Hydromagnetic Flow And Heat Transfer Of Eyring-Powell Fluid Over An Oscillatory Stretching Sheet With Thermal Radiation, S. U. Khan, N. Ali

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

An analysis is carried out to investigate the magnetohydrodynamic flow and heat transfer in an unsteady flow of Eyring-Powell fluid over an oscillatory stretching surface. The radiation effects are also considered in energy equation. The flow is induced due to infinite elastic sheet which is stretched periodically back and forth in its own plane. Finite difference scheme is used to solve dimensionless partial differential equations. The effects of emerging parameters on both velocity and temperature profiles are illustrated through graphs. The results obtained by means of finite difference scheme are compared with earlier studies and found in excellent agreement.
