The paper presents the semi-numerical solution for the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) viscous flow due to a stretching sheet caused by boundary layer of an incompressible viscous flow. The governing partial differential equations of momentum equations are reduced into a nonlinear ordinary differential equation (NODE) by using a classical similarity transformation along with appropriate boundary cond...

Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. invented a technique to make polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) porous using PTFE stretching technology, which was patented in 1962.(1) Drawing on the technique, the company has subsequently released various porous PTFE products such as filters and hollow fiber products under the trade name of POREFLON. Porous PTFE filters, one of these porous PTFE products, use s...

The present paper was aimed to study the effects of variable thermal conductivity and heat generation on the flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field, thermal radiation, porous medium, mass transfer, and variable free stream near a stagnation point on a non-conducting stretching sheet. Equations of continuity, momentum...
