Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the effects of variable viscosity and thermal conductivity on magneto hydrodynamic forced convective boundary layer flow past a stretching/shrinking sheet prescribed with variable heat flux in the presence of heat source and constant suction. The fluid viscosity and thermal conductivity are assumed to be inverse linear functions of temperature. The boundary equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations with similarity transformations. The effects of viscosity variation parameter and thermal conductivity variation parameter on velocity profile and temperature profile are discussed numerically by solving the governing transformed ordinary differential equations with the help of Runge-Kutta shooting method and plotted graphically. Skin-friction coefficient and wall temperature are also explored for typical values of the parameter involved in the study.
