Abstract

The influence of Hall current and thermal radiation on flow and heat transfer characteristics in a viscous fluid over an unsteady stretching permeable surface is studied in this paper. The unsteadiness in the flow and temperature fields is because of the time-dependent stretching velocity and surface temperature. Similarity transformations are used to convert the governing time dependent nonlinear boundary layer equations for momentum and thermal energy to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. These equations are solved numerically by applying shooting method using Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method and analytically by differential transform method with Pade approximants (DTM-Pade). Comparison of the numerical results and analytical solutions (based on DTM-Pade approximant) is made with the earlier published results. The effects of the unsteadiness parameter, thermal radiation, Hall effects, suction/injection parameter and non-uniform heat source/sink parameter on flow and heat transfer characteristics as well as on the local Nusselt number are shown graphically.
