Abstract

The heat and mass transfer of a steady flow of an incompressible electrically conducting fluid over an inclined stretching plate under the influence of an applied uniform magnetic field with heat generation and suction and the effects of Hall current are investigated. Using suitable similarity transformations the governing boundary layer equations for momentum, thermal energy and concentration are reduced to a set of coupled ordinary differential equations which are then solved numerically by the shooting method along with Runge- Kutta fourth-fifth order integration scheme. The numerical results concerned with the velocity, secondary velocity, temperature and concentration profiles effects of various parameters on the flow fields are investigated and presented graphically. The results have possible technological applications in liquid-based systems involving stretchable materials. © 2014 JSR Publications. ISSN: 2070-0237 (Print); 2070-0245 (Online).
