Abstract

In this paper, an analysis of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) mixed convection over an exponentially stretching surface in the presence of a non-uniform heat source/sink and suction/injection is presented. The governing boundary layer equations are transformed into a set of non-dimensional equations by using a group of non-similar transformations. The resulting highly non-linear coupled partial differential equations are solved by using the implicit finite difference method in combination with the quasilinearization technique. Numerical results for the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles, as well as the skin friction coefficient, wall heat transfer and mass transfer rates are computed and presented graphically for various parameters. The results indicate that the velocity profile reduces, while the temperature profile increases in presence of the effects of magnetic field and suction at the wall. The velocity ratio parameter increases the skin-friction coefficient and the Schmidt number decreases the wall mass transfer rate. The temperature profile increases for the positive values of Eckert number and space as well as temperature dependent heat source/sink parameters, while the opposite behavior is observed for negative values of same parameters.
