  The full MHD equations, governing the flow due to the axisymmetric stretching
of a sheet in the presence of a transverse magnetic field, can be cast in a
self similar form. This allows evaluation of the induced magnetic field and its
effect on the flow and heat transfer. The problem involves three parameters-
the magnetic Prandtl number, the magnetic interaction number, and the Prandtl
number. Numerical solutions are obtained for the velocity field, the magnetic
field, and the temperature, at different values of the magnetic Prandtl number
and the magnetic interaction number. The contributions of the viscous
dissipation, Joule heating, and streamwise diffusion to the heat flux toward
the sheet are assessed.
