The steady two dimensional incompressible hydromagnetic boundary layer flow caused by stretching wedge immersed in Casson fluid with heat transfer and suction/injection is investigated numerically. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations using suitable transformations and then solved numerically via Keller-box method. Numerical results for local skin friction coefficient are compared with the existing literature and observed in closed agreement with those results. The effects of pertinent parameters on flow fields are displayed graphically and discussed. It is found that velocity decreases with increase of Casson parameter and wedge angle parameter when the wedge is stretching faster than free stream. It is also observed that rate of heat transfer at surface increases with the increase of Prandtl number and Casson fluid parameter. Moreover, with increase of suction parameter the fluid velocity decreases and rate of shear stress increases.References
