Viscous dissipation, radiation, heat source (sink), pressure work and MHD effects in boundary layers on continuous moving surface along with temperature dependent viscosity

Abstract

This work is focused on steady, laminar, natural convective boundary layer flow over a continuous moving surface in the presence of MHD, pressure work, viscous dissipation, heat source (sink), radiation and temperature dependent viscosity effects. A suitable set of dimensionless variables is used and nonsimilar equations governing the problem are obtained. An adequate, implicit, tridiagonal infinite difference scheme known as quasilinearization is utilized for the mathematical solution of the obtained equations. The outcomes are found to be in astounding agreement for the above said parameters in terms of the velocity, temperature, local Nusselt number and the local skin-friction coefficient which is shown graphically.
