MHD Flow of Thixotropic Fluid with Variable Thermal Conductivity and Thermal Radiation

An analysis has been carried out to examine the two-dimensional and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of thixotropic fluid over a stretched surface. The thermal radiation effect in the heat transfer is considered when the thermal conductivity is not constant. Conservation of mass, momentum and energy l...
