Newtonian heating and magnetohydrodynamic effects in flow of a Jeffery fluid over a radially stretching surface

Abstract

The combined effects of Newtonian heating and magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) in a flow of a Jeffery fluid are analyzed in stagnation point flow over a radially stretching surface. The governing equations are modeled by invoking boundary layer analysis. The computed solution by a homotopy approach is valid in the spatial domain. Graphical results for the velocity and temperature fields are displayed and discussed. The local Nusselt number for various values of embedding parameters is shown. It is noted that the magnetic field retards the flow, whereas Newtonian heating acts as a boosting agent in order to increase the temperature of the fluid.

MHD dissipative fluid past a stretching sheet in the presence of Soret effect with Newtonian convective heat and mass conditions

“…Salleh et al investigated the boundary layer flow and heat transfer over a stretching sheet with Newtonian heating. Hayat et al studied Newtonian heating and magnetohydrodynamic effects in a flow of a Jeffery fluid over a radially stretching surface. Hayat et al investigated the Newtonian and Joule heating effects in a two‐dimensional flow of Williamson fluid.…”

Influence of Thermal Radiation on Unsteady MHD Free Convection Flow of Jeffrey Fluid over a Vertical Plate with Ramped Wall Temperature

“…Diverse contributions dealing with boundary layer flow over stretching sheet in various situations are well documented in Dalir et al [22] and Hayat et al [23]. Hayat et al [24] analyzed the effects of Newtonian heating magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) in a flow of a Jeffrey fluid over a radially stretching surface. In the same year, Hayat et al [25] carried out the study of boundary layer stretched flow of a Jeffrey fluid subject to the convective boundary condition.…”

Influence of Thermal Radiation on Unsteady Free Convection MHD Flow of Brinkman Type Fluid in a Porous Medium with Newtonian Heating

“…In addition, the flow through a porous medium is of great physical interest because of its various applications found in hydrology for the sand structures in earth, in filter beds for purification of drinking water and sewage, in chemical engineering for the permeation chromatography, filtering of gases, and liquids chromatography, and in petroleum technology for the production of petroleum and gases. Having such motivation, Hayat et al [22] analyzed MHD stagnation point flow of a Jeffery fluid past a stretching surface with the Newtonian heating. Lesnic et al [23,24] analyzed the free convection flow in a porous medium generated by Newtonian heating.…”
