Abstract

This investigation looks at the heat transfer effects in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) axisymmetric flow of third-grade fluid between the stretching sheets. Viscous and Joule heating effects are given due attention. The resulting nonlinear problem is computed for velocity and temperature fields. Expressions of skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number are calculated. Dimensionless results of velocity and temperature fields are examined for various parameters of interest. Numerical values of skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are obtained and analyzed.
