MHD Boundary Layer Flow due to Exponential Stretching Surface with Radiation and Chemical Reaction

الملخص EN

The effects of radiation and first order homogeneous chemical reaction on hydromagnetic boundary layer flow of a viscous, steady, and incompressible fluid over an exponential stretching sheet have been investigated.

The governing system of partial differential equations has been transformed into ordinary differential equations using similarity variables.

The dimensionless system of differential equations was then solved numerically by the Runge-Kutta method.

The skin-friction coefficient and the rate of heat and mass transfers are presented in tables whilst velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are illustrated graphically for various varying parameter values.

It was found that the rate of heat transfer at the surface decreases with increasing values of the transverse magnetic field parameter and the radiation parameter.
