Abstract

This study focuses on the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) fluid flow. Fluid taken is compressible, viscous and Newtonian. Fluid flow is taken over a continuously stretching, permeable horizontal cylinder in the presence of internal heat generation or absorption and thermal radiation. The governing partial differential equations, with the help of given boundary layer criteria and similarity transformations, are converted into system of non-linear ordinary differential equations. In order to determine the velocity and temperature distributions, these equations are solved numerically. Friction factor and heat determination rate is also determined. Tabular and graphical illustrations are used to present the impact of different parameters like magnetic parameter, radiation parameter, heat source/sink parameter on the fluid flow. It is the primary object of the research, to explore the influence of magnetic field, radiation parameter, and heat generation or absorption on the flow and temperature distribution along the stretching cylindrical surface. Fluid flows with all these parameters affect differently on cylindrical and flat geometries, which is also demonstrated in the results. This work has significant relevance to several engineering and industrial processes such as polymer extrusion, metal forming, and cooling fluids, where efficient transfer is essential. It also contributes to applications in aerospace thermal protection systems, nuclear energy, and porous catalytic reactors. Additionally, the study provides insight into fluid systems influenced by magnetic and radiative effects within permeable structures, including filtration units, enhanced oil recovery, biomedical fluid transport.
