NUMERICAL APPROACH TO MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC VISCOELASTIC FLUID FLOW AND HEAT TRANSFER OVER A NONISOTHERMAL STRETCHING SHEET

The paper deals with the study of the flow of an incompressible electrically conducting viscoelastic fluid referred to CS Walter's liquid B over a nonisothermal stretching sheet with radiation using a quasi-linearization technique adopting a numerical approach. The speed of the sheet is assumed to be proportional to the distance from the origin. The velocity and temperature profiles are obtained numerically and these are displayed by graphs for diverse values of the Prandtl number, viscoelastic, magnetic, source/sink, wall temperature, wall heat flux, and thermal radiation parameters. The results are compared with those available in the literature obtained by analytical procedures and are seen to be in good agreement.
