Abstract
The thermal boundary layer on an exponentially stretching continuous surface with an exponential temperature distribution in the presence of the magnetic field effect is investigated numerically. The local similarity solution is applied to the governing equations. Comparisons with previously published work are made and the results are found to be in excellent agreement. Numerical results for temperature distribution and the local Nusselt number have been presented for different values of the governing parameters. In particular, it has been found that the magnetic field decreases the temperature difference at the wall of the stretching surface, while the Nusselt number decreases with it.
