| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立暨南國際大學 === 土木工程學系 === 100 === The present paper deals with the numerical solution of an electrically conducting fluid flow and heat transfer outside a stretching cylinder. The governing system of partial differential equations is converted into a system of ordinary differential equations using a similarity transformation, which is then solved numerically by the Runge-Kutta method together with the Newton-Raphson scheme. The energy equation includes the effect of internal heat source or sink and the thermal radiation. Because of algebraic decay, an exponential coordinate transform is used to facilitate numerical integration. The effects of the parameters involved, namely the magnetic parameter, Prandtl number, Reynolds number, internal heat parameter and thermal radiation parameter on the velocity and temperature fields are thoroughly examined and explained physically through figures and tables.
