Abstract

This study models the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) three-dimensional boundary layer flow of viscoelastic fluid. The flow is due to the exponentially stretching surface. The heat transfer analysis is performed through prescribed surface temperature (PST) and prescribed surface heat flux (PHF). The thermal conductivity is taken temperature dependent. Series solutions of velocities and temperatures are constructed. Graphical results for PST and PHF cases are plotted and analyzed. Numerical values of skin-friction coefficients and Nusselt numbers are presented and discussed.
