JOULE HEATING EFFECTS IN MHD FLOW OF BURGERS' FLUID

Abstract

This article models the problem of two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow of Burgers' fluid over a stretching surface with Joule heating. Series solutions are generated after transforming the governing equations through dimensionless variables. The series solutions are dependent on the auxiliary parameters controlling the convergence analysis. To interpret the obtained solutions, the results of velocity, temperature, and of the local Nusselt number are included for different pertinent parameters.
