Three dimensional MHD Casson fluid flow over a stretching surface with variable thermal conductivity

Abstract

. The three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow of a Casson fluid over a stretching surface set into a porous medium with variable thermal conductivity and heat generation/absorption has been researched. Conservation laws of mass, momentum and energy are changed into ordinary differential equations, which are numerically dealt with by applying the fourth order Runge-Kutta integration scheme in relationship with shooting procedure. The dimensionless velocity, temperature, skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number inside the boundary layer are processed and examined through tables and illustrations for various physical parameters. The numerical outcomes obtained for the specific case are sensible in great concurrence with the existing results. Results indicate that momentum boundary layer reduces for the Hartman number and Casson fluid parameter. Temperature is found as an enlightened function for the heat generation and thermal conductivity parameter.
