Abstract
The present work is focused on the heat transfer in an Eyring-Powell MHD microploar fluid that conducts electricity and flows past on a linearly stretching sheet. As the sheet is stretched in the xdirection, the flow develops in the region with y > 0. The problem is mathematically formulated by a set of partial differential equations accounting for magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), radiation and Joule heating effects, which are transformed into ordinary differential equations with the help of a similarity transformation. The converted problem is solved in MAT LAB in the framework of a fourth order accurate integration scheme.The effects of fluid parameter, porosity parameter, stretching parameter, magnetic field parameter, radiation parameter, Schmidt parameter and Prandtl number on simulated velocity, microrotation, temperature distribution, concentration of micro elements and skin friction have been studied.
