Abstract :

In the present article, we have investigated the influence of inclined magnetic field on Walter’s Liquid B fluid flow through stretching sheet. Elastic deformation and Rosseland diffusion approximation for radiative heat flux are considered. With the help of similarity transformation the flow and energy equations are solved analytically by using confluent hypergeometric method. Results for various physical parameters are presented through graphs. It’s also noted that the increasing values of elastic deformation parameter increase the local Nusselt number.
