Abstract
This investigation is undertaken to study effects of MHD thermal radiation and heat source of viscous flow over a nonlinearly stretching sheet with viscous dissipation. The governing equations of the problem are transformed into non-linear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformations. The resulting equations are solved numerically by using an implicit finite difference method known as Keller box method. The effect of various physical parameters on the temperature, vertical velocity field and skin - friction and they are presented graphically for different values of physical parameters involved. The present result is in good agreement with the earlier published result in a particular case. Numerical results for local skin-friction, local Nusselt number are tabulated for various physical parameters. The nature of velocity and temperature has presented. It is found that Radiation parameter increases and the heat source/sink decreases with the influence of temperature.
