Dual Solution of Unsteady Boundary Layer Flow of Viscose Fluid Over a Stretching Cylinder Considering Thermal Conductivity Effects

Abstract

The study has analyzed the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) unsteady boundary layer flow of a viscous fluid over a stretching cylinder, considering thermal conductivity effects. The graphical analysis delves into the influence of various flow parameters on the profiles of flow velocity and temperature. By employing similarity transformations, the governing equations transform. Subsequently, these transformed equations are numerically solved using the shooting method. The investigation uncovers the presence of dual solutions with increasing parameters such as velocity slip, magnetic field strength, and suction effect. Various physical parameters are meticulously examined and discussed. Furthermore, numerical analyses are performed to ascertain expressions for the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number, fluid velocity, and temperature around the cylinder, with their variations elucidated through graphical representations.
