A new mathematical model for a flexible blade coater is proposed and analysed for slip and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effects in blade coating process. The slip is considered at the blade surface and magnetic field is imposed normal to the flow. To obtain the velocity profile, pressure, pressure gradient, volumetric flow rate and maximum pressure both exact and numerical solutions are utilized. In order to obtain the numerical solution shooting technique is applied. The interesting physical quantities like load and deflection are calculated and presented in graphical and tabulated form. The influence of the Hartman number the slip parameter and normalized coating thickness parameter on the flow and deflection are discussed graphically. In the presence of magnetic field and slip the fluid velocity and hence blade deflection can be controlled.
