Abstract
The research work focuses on the solution of Magnetohydrody
namics (MHD) boundary layer flow past a stretching plate with
heat transfer and viscous dissipation. The non-linear of momen
tum and energy equation are transformed into ordinary differential
equation using similarity transformation, the resulting equations
were solved using Adomian decomposition method (ADM). An
attempt has been made to show the potentials and wide range
application of the Adomian decomposition method in the com
parison with the previous one in solving heat transfer problems.
The Pade approximatants value (η = 11[11,11]) was used on the
difficulty at infinity. The results were compared by numerical tech
nique method. A conclusion can be drawn from the results that
ADM provides highly precise numerical solution for non-linear dif
ferential equations. The result were accurate especially for η ≤ 4,
a general equating terms of Eckert number (Ec), prandtl number
(Pr), magnetic parameter ((∝)) and Grashof number were derived
and were used to investigate velocity and temperature profiles in
boundary layer.
