MHD flow and heat transfer from continuous surface in uniform free stream of non-Newtonian fluid

An analysis is carried out to study the steady flow and heat transfer charac- teristics from a continuous flat surface moving in a parallel free stream of an electrically conducting non-Newtonian viscoelastic fluid.The flow is subjected to a transverse uni- form magnetic field.The constitutive equation of the fluid is modeled by that for a second grade fluid.Numerical results are obtained for the distribution of velocity and temperature profiles.The effects of various physical parameters like viscoelastic param- eter,magnetic parameter and Prandtl number on various momentum and heat transfer characteristics are discussed in detail and shown graphically.
