Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow past over a shrinking sheet with heat transfer / Nurin Natasha Ismail

The study of shrinking surface with boundary layer theory has become important in recent years due to development in the industrial application. Magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow past over a shrinking sheet with heat transfer. The similarity transformation variables are used for transforming the partial differential equations to ordinary differential equation. The Maple software is used for shooting technique with Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method to obtain the numerical solution. The effect of parameter which are Prandtl number and the magnetic field on the heat transfer characteristics are presented graphically and discussed in detail. At the surface, it is found that the increasing heat transfer rate increases the Prandtl number but decreases the magnetic parameter.
