Abstract

Of concern was an investigation of the effects of thermal radiation on magnetohydrodynamic (MHD)flow and heat transfer over a non-linear shrinking porous sheet.The surface velocity of the shrinking sheet and the transverse magnetic field were assumed to vary as a power function of the distance from the origin.The temperature dependent viscosity and the thermal conductivity were also assumed to vary as an inverse function and a linear function of the temperature respectively.A generalized similarity transformation was used to reduce the governing partial differential equations into its non-linear coupled ordinary differential equations and were solved numerically by using finite difference scheme.The numerical results concern with the velocity and temperature profiles as well as the skin-friction coefficient and the rate of heat transfer at the porous sheet for different values of the parameters of interest.
