This paper is devoted to the analysis of the unsteady
magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow
and heat transfer on a permeable stretching sheet embedded
in a moving incompressible viscous fluid. The combined
effects of Ohmic heating, thermal radiation, frictional
heating and internal heat absorption/generation
are taken into account. The governing time dependent
nonlinear boundary layer equations are converted into a
systemof nonlinear ordinary differential equations by similarity
transformations. Some analytical results that give
the characteristics of the velocity field in the boundary
layer are presented and proved. The governing equations
are then solved by using the shooting technique along with
the fourth order Runge-Kutta method. The analytical properties
proved in this paper are consistent with those obtained
by the numerical method. Furthermore, the effects
of the various parameters on the velocity and temperature
fields are presented graphically and discussed in detail.
