EFFECTS OF THERMO DIFFUSION AND TRANSVERSE MAGNETIC FIELD ON HEAT TRANSFER OVER A STRETCHING CYLINDER UNDER CONVECTIVE BOUNDARY CONDITION

Abstract

A numerical behaviour for axisymmetric flow and heat transfer due to a stretching cylinder under the influence of a uniform magnetic field, thermo diffusion and convective condition is presented. The governing partial differential equations are rehabilitated into nonlinear, ordinary, and coupled differential equations and are solved with Keller-Box technique. The effects of key parameters such as magnetic parameter, curvature parameter, Prandtl number, Soret number and the local Biot number are explained by the graphs. The numerical outcomes are compared with the published data and are found to be in an excellent agreement.
