ABSTRACT: The focus of the study is to examine thermal radiation and viscous dissipative
heat transfers of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) stagnation point flow past a
permeable confined stretching cylinder with non-uniform heat source or
sink. The formulated equation governing the flow is non-dimensional. The
dimensionless momentum and energy equation are solved using shooting
technique coupled with fourth-order Runge-kutta integrated scheme which
satisfied smoothness conditions at the edge of the boundary layer. The result
for the velocity and temperature distributions are presented graphically and
discussed to portray the effects of some important embodiment parameters
on the flow. The Nusselt number and skin friction were obtained and compared
with the previous scholars’ results in others to validate the present research
work.
