Abstract:

In this paper, the effects of various fluid properties on two dimensional unsteady Biomagnetic fluid flow (blood) and heat transfer over a stretching sheet under the appearance of magnetic dipole is investigated. The governing boundary layer equations are simplified by suitable transformation which are then solved by bvp4c function aaproach in MATLAB software. The results indicate that fluid velocity and temperature are greatly influenced for ferromagnetic interaction parameter. Where, for ferromagnetic number fluid velocity drops but temperature rises upward. It is also found that the coefficient of skin friction and Nusselt number increase with the increment values of thermal conductivity parameter. For certain parameter values, the results are also compared with previously published studies and found in acceptable agreement.

Keywords: Biomagnetic fluid; variable viscosity; variable thermal conductivity; magnetic field; unsteady; stretching sheet; skin friction coefficient; rate of heat transfer.
