An MHD Effect on a Newtonian Fluid Flow Due to a Superlinear Stretching Sheet

Abstract

The preliminary aim of this article is to investigate the effect of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows of a viscous fluid due to a superlinear stretching sheet. These boundary layer flows arise in the industrial processes such as polymer extrusion processes, metal spinning, glass blowing and heat exchangers. The representing frameworks of highly nonlinear partial differential equations are mapped to nonlinear ordinary differential equations with a constant coefficient via similarity transformation and are solved analytically. The results are analyzed by means of various plots to provide the comparison and found to be in better agreement with the classical results of Crane and Pavlov. The viscous fluid due to a superlinear stretching sheet in the presence ofMHDhas enormous amount of nonlinearity in conducting the solution area with different arrangements.
