Abstract

Steady incompressible magnetohydrodynamic mixed convection boundary layer flow of a Casson fluid on an exponentially vertical shrinking sheet using the non‐Newtonian heating equation is investigated in this paper. There are three main objectives of this study, namely, to develop a new mathematical model, to obtain multiple solutions, and to perform stability analysis. The governing partial differential equations have been changed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The resultant equations of boundary value problems are then converted into the equivalent initial value problems using the shooting method before they can be solved using Runge‐Kutta of order four. The numerical results are obtained and found to be in good agreement with the published literature. The results also indicate that the velocity boundary layer becomes thinner as the magnetic, slip, and Casson parameters increase. Dual solutions for temperature and velocity distributions are obtained. Furthermore, the results suggest that the presence of the force of buoyancy (opposing flow case) would cause the occurrence of dual solutions. However, based on the stability analysis, only the first solution is stable.
