Abstract
Nonlinear hydromagnetic flow and heat transfer over a surface stretching with a power-law velocity is analysed. A special form of the magnetic field is chosen to obtain similarity equations. Resulting equations are numerically solved using Runge–Kutta shooting method. Values of skin-friction and rate of heat transfer are obtained and the effect of magnetic field, stretching parameter and Prandtl number over these are discussed.
