MHD flow and heat transfer due to a linearly stretching sheet with induced magnetic field: Exact solution

Abstract

The solution for the MHD flow, due to a linearly stretching sheet, has a simple form for the velocity field, with a companion simple form for the induced magnetic field. The associated thermal problem, including viscous dissipation and Joule heating, involves three temperature constituents, the solutions for two of which are obtained in terms of Kummer's function. The solution for the third temperature constituent is obtained in a convergent series form.

arXiv commentThe title is corrected.Appendix D is added to extend the exact solutions to cases of surface feed and velocity and thermal slip
