Significance of heat generation/absorption in magnetohydrodynamic flow by an unsteady stretching curved surface Available to Purchase

The purpose of this article is to analyze the magnetohydrodynamic viscous liquid flow with heat absorption/generation. Flow is induced by an unsteady stretching curved surface. A time-dependent magnetic field is utilized.

The resulting nonlinear system is solved through shooting method.

An increment in the values of curvature A and unsteadiness parameters correspond to higher velocity, temperature and concentration fields. There is a reduction in the temperature and related layer via Prandtl number. Skin friction is increasing factor of magnetic number. Local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are lower for greater magnetic number.

To the best of author's knowledge, no such consideration has been given in the literature yet.
