Abstract
In this paper a study is carried out to analyze the unsteady heat transfer effects due to a sudden introduction of heat source/sink on a steady viscous boundary layer MHD flow and heat transfer over a linearly stretching sheet subjected to a constant temperature. Governing boundary layer equations have been solved by an implicit finite difference method. Numerical results show that the steady state is reached quickly for a heat sink or for a large Prandtl number. The time to reach steady state increases under magnetic field. Upto a critical value of the strength of heat source, steady solution exists.
