This paper deals with the analysis of an unsteady mixed convection flow of a fluid saturated porous medium adjacent to heated/cooled semi-infinite stretching vertical sheet in the presence of heat source. The unsteadiness in the flow is caused by continuous stretching of the sheet and continuous increase in the surface temperature. We present the analytical and numerical solutions of the problem. The effects of emerging parameters on field quantities are examined and discussed.

A viscous electrically conducting fluid is considered and its steady mixed convective flow along a vertical stretching cylinder is investigated. It is assumed that the cylinder is embedded in a porous medium and, external magnetic field, heat source/sink are also taken into account. Suitable similarity transformations are used to reduce the governing equations and associated boundary conditions into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. This system along with the boundary conditions is solved by fourth order Runge-Kutta method with shooting technique. Variations in fluid velocity and temperature due to various physical parameters such as heat source/sink parameter, mixed convection parameter, magnetic parameter are presented through graphs. Effect of these parameters on dimensionless shear stress and rate of heat transfer are discussed numerically through tables.
