Keywords:
Thermal Stratification, Suction, Finite Difference Scheme, Magnetic parameter, Quasi-linearization.Abstract
This study presents a mathematical analysis of MHD heat transfer flow over an exponentially stretching surface embedded in a thermally stratified medium. The similarity transformation technique is used to convert the governing partial differential equations into the ordinary differential equations and solved numerically using Finite difference scheme. The numerical solutions for dimensionless velocity and temperature profiles for various governing parameters are obtained and the results are discussed graphically.
