    Abstract

    We have studied mass transpiration of a magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a Newtonian fluid over a superlinear stretching sheet embedded in a porous medium. A model was created of a nonlinear system of partial differential equations that are transformed into third-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations via similarity transformations and then solved analytically using differential transform method and Pade approximants. The main focus of the present study is on the effect of Navier’s slip boundary condition on flow behavior. A comprehensive study is presented on the effects of various parameters, such as Navier’s slip condition, mass transpiration (suction/injection), and Darcy number on the axial and transverse velocity profiles of the laminar boundary layer flow through the stretching sheet.
