【 摘 要 】

An analysis is made to examine the magnetohydrodynamic mixed convection boundary layer flow of Eyring-Powell fluid brought by an inclined stretching cylinder. Flow field analysis is accounted by thermal stratification phenomena. The temperature is assumed to be higher across the surface of cylinder as compared to ambient fluid. The arising mathematical model regarding Eyring-Powell fluid is governed by interesting physical parameters which includes mixed convection parameter, thermal stratification parameter, heat generation/absorption parameter, curvature parameter, fluid parameters, magnetic field parameter and Prandtl number. The numerical solutions are computed through the application of shooting technique conjunction with fifth order Runge-Kutta algorithm. In addition, numeric values for two unlike geometries namely, plate and cylinder for skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are presented with the aid graphs and some particular cases are discussed. The present study is validated by establishing comparison with previously published works, which sets a benchmark of quality of shooting method.
