Abstract

The present study focuses on the inclined magnetic field effect on Casson fluid flow over a stretching sheet with non-uniform heat source/sink. The velocity slip boundary conditions are considered. A similarity transformation of governing equation is used to reduce into a non-dimensional form. The flow and thermal equations are derived and solved analytically by using confluent hypergeometric function and numerically by using shooting iteration technique together with Runge-Kutta fourth order. Results for various flow characteristics are presented through graphs. It is found that increasing the values of the inclined magnetic field enhances the thermal boundary layer. Also observed that the increasing value of non-uniform heat source/sink parameter increase the thermal boundary layer thickness.
