Abstract

Our goal in this attempt is to model a nonlinear stretchable flow of a radiative viscous liquid with magnetohydrodynamics. Flow caused is due to a unsteady stretching surface with variable thickness. Consideration of thermal radiation effect characterizes the heat transfer process. Induced electric and magnetic fields are not accounted for. Appropriate transformations gave nonlinear systems. Modern methodology, i.e., HAM, is implemented for the computational process. Velocity and temperature are plotted for influential variables which are important in this problem. Moreover, surface drag force and heat transfer rate are computed and discussed. Velocity field is noted to decay the function of the larger Hartman number whereas opposite situation for temperature is examined via larger radiation parameter.
