Abstract
The main goal of this work is to obtain the numerical solution for thin film flow of MHD an incompressible Eyring-Powell fluid on a vertically moving belt. The nonlinear equation governing the flow problem is modeled and then solved numerically by means of a successive linearization method (SLM). The numerical results are derived in tables for comparisons. The important result of this comparison is the high precision of the SLM in solving nonlinear differential equations. The solutions take into account the behavior of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. Graphical outcomes of various non-Newtonian parameters such as Hartman number and Stokes number on the flow field are discussed and analyzed. Besides this, the present results have been tested and compared with the available published results in a limiting manner and an excellent agreement is found. (c) 2019 The Authors. Published by IASE.
