Unsteady ferromagnetic liquid flow and heat transfer analysis over a stretching sheet with the effect of dipole and prescribed heat flux

This paper is mainly focused on unsteady boundary layer flow ferromagnetic fluid and heat transfer past a stretching surface with the influence of magnetic dipole. The momentum and energy equation are expressed as five parameter problem, which is solved numerically by employing shooting based RKF-45 method. Two different types of thermal boundary conditions are studied, namely, (i) prescribed surface temperature (PST) and (ii) prescribed heat flux (PHF). The effects of the various emerging parameters involving in the problem on dimensionless velocity and temperature distributions are illustrated graphically and tabular form. It was establish that the key factor of the magneto-thermomechanical intervention is to slow down the fluid motion in the comparison to the simple hydrodynamic. Comparisons of present results were made with those available in open literature and found excellent agreement. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
