Abstract

The present paper deals with a steady two-dimensional laminar flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid over a
shrinking sheet in the presence of uniform transverse magnetic field with viscous dissipation. Using suitable similarity transformations
the governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations and then solved numerically by fourth
order Runge-Kutta method with shooting technique. Results for velocity and temperature profiles for different values of the governing
parameters have been discussed in detail with graphical representation. The numerical evaluation of skin-friction and Nusselt number are also given in table
