Radiation, inclined magnetic field and cross-diffusion effects on flow over a stretching surface

Abstract

The steady two-dimensional flow over a vertical stretching surface in presence of aligned magnetic field, cross-diffusion and radiation effects are considered. The governing partial differential equations are transformed to nonlinear ordinary differential equation by using similarity transformation and then solved numerically by using bvp4c with MATLAB package. The effects of various non-dimensional governing parameters on velocity, temperature, concentration profiles along friction factor, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are discussed and presented through graphs and tables’.We observed that increase in aligned angle strengthen the magnetic field and decreases the velocity profile of the flow and enhances the heat transfer rate. Comparisons with existed results are presented.
