| Summary: | The problem of magnetohydrodynamic flow and heat transfer of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting dusty fluid over an unsteady stretching sheet is analyzed numerically. The fluid viscosity and thermal conductivity are assumed to vary as an exponential function of temperature. The governing fundamental equations are approximated by a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. The obtained similarity equations are solved numerically using RKF-45 method. Numerical computation has been carried out for horizontal velocity profiles, temperature, Nusselt number and skin friction coefficient for various values of the flow parameters that are presented for both VWT and VHF respectively. A comparison with previously published work is performed and the results are found to be in good agreement.
