Abstract
This paper presents a numerically study for the effect of the internal heat generation, magnetic field and thermal radiation effects on the flow and gradient heat transfer of a Newtonian fluid over a stretching sheet. By using a similarity transformation, the governing PDEs can be transformed into a coupled non-linear system of ODEs with variable coefficients. Numerical solutions for these equations subject to appropriate boundary conditions are obtained by using the differential transformation method (DTM). The effects of various physical parameters such as viscosity parameter, the suction parameter, the radiation parameter, internal heat generation or absorption parameter and the Prandtl number on velocity and temperature are discussed by using graphical approach.
