A STEADY CASSON FLUID FLOW PAST A STRETCHING POROUS SURFACE IN PRESENCE OF HEAT SOURCE AND CHEMICAL REACTION

Abstract

In this problem a steady Casson fluid flow past an exponentially stretching porous surface is considered with Suction/blowing. Here a uniform magnetic field is applied in the transverse direction to the flow. The governing partial differential equations are reduced to a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations which are further solved numerically with the help of Matlab Build BVP4C technique. Results are discussed with the help of graphs and tables for various values of flow parameters. A special emphasize is given in the effect of Casson fluid parameter on fluid velocity, heat and mass transfer rate of the system.
