Abstract

Exact numerical solutions to the boundary layer similarity equations of MHD flow and heat transfer past a semi-infinite flat plate of an incompressible viscous fluid have been presented. The velocity of the fluid U and the magnetic field H 0 at a distance from the plate are both assumed to be uniform and parallel to the plate which is considered as isothermal. Velocity, magnetic and temperature fields have been shown graphically whereas the numerical values of ƒ′(0) and {− θ′(0)} are entered in tables. We observe that both ƒ′(0) and {− θ′(0)} decrease with increasing S (magnetic field parameter) and increase with increasing λ (ratio of magnetic diffusivity and viscous diffusivity).
