Abstract :
An analysis has been carried out to investigate nonlinear radiation effects on MHD boundary layer flow over a shrinking surface with internal heat generation/absorption, viscous and Ohmic dissipation. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are reduced to nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. In this analysis, Nachtsheim Swigert shooting iteration scheme coupled with a fourth order Runge Kutta integration algorithm is adopted to solve the nonlinear boundary value problem. The effects of Magnetic parameter, Suction parameter, Prandtl number, Heat generation/absorption parameter, Eckert number, Radiation parameter and Temperature ratio parameter on dimensionless velocity, skin friction coefficient, dimensionless temperature and dimensionless rate of heat transfer are discussed. It is apparent from the investigation that the increasing effect of Temperature ratio parameter is to enhance the thermal boundary layer thickness and reduce the dimensionless rate of heat transfer.
