• INFLUENCE OF HALL CURRENTS ON THE CASSON FLUID FLOW DUE TO AN EXPONENTIALLY STRETCHING SHEET WITH SUCTION AND CONVECTIVE BOUNDARY CONDITION

Abstract

In this paper the effects of suction, thermal radiation, heat generation on the unsteady flow of a Casson fluid over an exponentially stretching sheet in the presence of Hall currents with convective boundary condition is investigated. The governing equations of the flow are formulated and solved numerically on introducing suitable similarity transformations. The computational results indicate that the magnetic field acts as a resisting force on the primary velocity while it has an opposite influence on the secondary velocity. The Biot number and thermal radiation parameter enhance the temperature. The rate of mass transfer is reduced with Schmidt number.
