Steady MHD Slip Flow Over a Permeable Stretching Cylinder With Thermal Radiation

Abstract

Aim of the paper is to investigate the effects of thermal radiation and velocity slip on steady MHD slip flow of viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid over a permeable stretching cylinder saturated in porous medium in the presence of external magnetic field. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations by suitable similarity transformation and solved numerically using Runge-Kutta fourth order method with shooting technique. Effect of various physical parameters on fluid velocity, temperature, skin –friction coefficient and Nusselt number are presented through graphs and discussed numerically.
