Abstract

This communication describes the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of Jeffrey liquid persuaded by a nonlinear radially stretched sheet. Heat transfer is characterized by Newtonian heating and Joule heating effects. The transformed nonlinear governing ordinary differential equations are solved employing homotopic approach. The obtained results of the velocity and temperature are analyzed graphically for various pertinent parameters. Skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are tabulated and addressed for the various embedded parameters. Furthermore the temperature decays for increasing nonlinear parameter of axisymmetric stretching surface. The nonlinear parameter has reverse effect for temperature and skin friction coefficient.
