Abstract

Numerical investigation is carried out for steady two dimensional boundary layer flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid over a nonlinearly stretching non-isothermal sheet in the presence of variable transverse magnetic field, thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and nonlinearly moving free stream. Similar solution of the fluid flow problem is obtained using forth-order Runge-Kutta method along with shooting technique. Influence of various pertinent parameters such as stretching parameter, stretching index, Hartmann number, Prandtl number, Eckert number and radiation parameter are displayed through graphs and tables.
