Magnetohydrodynamic flow of Casson fluid over a stretching cylinder

Abstract

Here the Newtonian heating characteristics in MHD flow of Casson liquid induced by stretched cylinder moving with linear velocity is addressed. Consideration of dissipation and Joule heating characterizes the process of heat transfer. Applied electric and induced magnetic fields are not considered. Magnetic Reynolds number is low. The convenient transformation yields nonlinear problems which are solved for the convergent solutions. Convergence region is determined for the acquired solutions. Parameters highlighting for velocity and temperature are graphyically discussed. Numerical values of skin friction and Nusselt number are also presented in the tabular form. Present analysis reveals that velocity and thermal fields have reverse behavior for larger Hartman number. Moreover curvature parameter has similar influence on the velocity, temperature, skin friction and Nusselt number.
