Radiation effect on MHD free-convection flow of a gas at a stretching surface with a uniform free stream

Radiation effect on MHD free-convection flow of a gas at a stretching surface with a uniform free stream

We investigate the problem of free convection heat transfer near an isothermal stretching sheet. This has been done under the simultaneous action of buoyancy, radiation, and transverse magnetic field. The governing equations are solved by the shooting method. The velocity and temperature functions a...
