In this framework, the boundary-layer mass and heat flow in a liquid film over an unsteady stretching cylinder are discussed under the influence of a magnetic field. By means of the similarity transformations the highly non-linear governing system of PDE is converted to ODE. We use the built-in function bvp4c in MATLAB to solve this system of ODE. The impact of distinctive parameters on velocity and temperature profile in the existence of an external magnetic field is depicted via graphs and deep analysis is also presented.

In this article, we have discussed the effect of external magnetic field and other governing parameters on the flow and heat transfer in the presence of suspended carbon nanotubes over a flat plate. The governing equations of flow and heat transfer are derived from the Navier–Stokes and Prandtl boundary layer concept. The derived governing equations of flow and energy are non-linear partial differential equation, and these equations are converted into non-linear ordinary differential equations with corresponding boundary conditions using some suitable similarity transformations and are solved numerically using fourth-order Runge–Kutta method with efficient shooting technique. Effects of governing parameters on flow and heat transfer are shown through various graphs and explained with physical interpretation in detail. This study has applications in glass-fiber production and technology. On observing the results of this study, we can conclude that external magnetic field shows opposite behaviors on velocity and temperature and it enhances the rate of heat transfer.

A stability analysis of dual solution for the problem of stagnation-point slip flow over a stretching or shrinking cylinder is studied. The partial differential equations governing will be transformed to a set of coupled nonlinear nonsimilar equations via similarity transformations. The transformed governing equations are solved numerically using the bvp4c function in MATLAB software. Numerical calculations exhibit the existence of dual solution and the implementation of stability analysis proved that the first solution is stable and physically realizable.

Two-dimensional hydromagnetic flow and heat transfer of Walters-B fluid towards a stagnation point region over a stretching cylinder is discussed. Constitutive equations are transformed into dimensionless form by means of suitable similarity transformations. Spectral quasi-linearization method is employed to obtain the solution of similarity equations. Comparison of computed results with existing results in the limiting case of a flat sheet is also provided. Analysis of obtained results is performed through graphs to discuss the influence of emerging parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles. The flow and heat transfer characteristics are analyzed through parameters representing curvature of cylinder, velocity ratio parameter, magnetic parameter, and Weissenberg number. The curvature of the cylinder has significant impact on the velocity and temperature. A magnetic field applied externally suppresses the bulk motion and alters the momentum boundary layer thickness. The drag and heat transfer rate on the surface of the cylinder are examined through skin friction and heat transfer coefficients. Furthermore, streamlines are drawn to see the flow pattern.
