MHD Heat Transfer Flow of Casson Fluid with Velocity and Thermal Slips over a Stretching Wedge in the Presence of Thermal Radiation

Abstract

This article investigates the boundary layer flow and heat transfer of an electrically conducting Casson fluid over a stretching wedge by considering the effects of suction/injection, velocity and thermal slips and thermal radiation. By applying the appropriate similarity transformations,the governing partial differential equations are transformed to highly non-linear ordinary differential equations. These resulting similarity equations are then solved by a new analytic method namely DTM-BF, based on differential transformation method (DTM) and base function (BF). A comparativestudy of the present numerical results has been made with the already published results available in the literature. The effects of various governing parameters on the flow and heat transfer characteristics have been discussed graphically.
