Description
Summary:In this article, the unsteady boundary layer flow of an incompressible Williamson fluid over a permeable radiative stretched surface. Both electric and magnetic fields are taken into account. The nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations are obtained through suitable transformations and then solved statistically and analytically. Influence of physical on the velocity and temperature are graphically analyzed. The expressions of skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number are presented and examined numerically. Correlation coefficient and probable error are calculated to check the significance and insignificant relation of parameters with skin friction and Nusselt number. Keywords: Statistical approach, Thermal radiation, Ohmic dissipation, Williamson fluid
