Study of Forchheimer, Ohmic, Joule Effects and Variable Viscosity on Magnetohydrodynamic Viscous Flow Aacross the Slendering Stretching Surface

Abstract

The boundary layer viscous flow across the slendering sheet has caught considerable attention due to its wide applications in microfluidics, duct design, nano-fluids and nano-devices and plastics molding, and many other fields. Noticing this we have examined the two dimensional magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer viscous flow across the slendering sheet under the influence of Forchheimer, Ohmic, Joules effect and as well as the variable viscosity effect on the fluid flow. Similarity transformations are used to simplify the partial differential equations to ordinary differential equations which are further solved analytically using the generalized homotopy method. The computational results without these effects agree excellently with the previous results by [11].
