Investigation of induced magnetic field on MHD radiative flow across an exponentially stretching sheet

Abstract

In the analysis of magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) flow, the induced magnetic field (i.m.f) is of critical concern owing to its diverse applications in technological and scientific phenomena such as MRI, glass manufacturing, geophysics, and MHD generators, magneto-hydrodynamic pumps, magneto-hydrodynamic generators, blood flow, etc. The configuration of fluid flow is impacted by the i.m.f, also it is essential to more precisely regulate the rate of flow nature. With this motivation, the present article is focused on the exploration of boundary layer flow behaviour and heat transfer characteristics in a viscous and conducting fluid moving over a stretching surface susceptible to heat radiation and i.m.f effects. Transformation variables are employed in order to translate the PDEs into non-linear ODEs. The BVP4C strategy is implemented to compute computational outcomes of a non-linear system. Consequences of the existing physical model are shown in tabular and graphical form. Some of the key findings are as the induced magnetic field intensifies for augmented values of magnetic parameter and vice-versa for the reciprocal magnetic field parameter. Temperature is accelerated by radiation parameter and reciprocal magnetic field. Moreover, a noteworthy verification between published data and the present outcomes in special cases. It perceived that our outcomes are in perfect harmony.
