Effect of Viscous Dissipation on the MHD Flow and Heat Transfer over a Stretching SlenderCylinder

In the current paper, axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) boundary layer flow and heattransfer of a fluid over a slender cylinder is investigatednumerically. The effects of viscous dissipation andsurface transverse curvature are taken into account in thesimulations. To do this, using the appropriate similaritytransformations, the governing partial differentialequations are transformed to ordinary differentialequations. Resultant ordinary differential equationsalong with the appropriate boundary conditions aresolved using fourth order Runge-Kutta method featuringby a shooting technique. Results are presented viadiagrams and tables that clearly indicate the effect ofeach parameter on velocity and temperature.
