Abstract

A steady two dimensional MHD free convective and mass transfer flow of an incompressible fluid past a continuously moving vertical infinite porous plate in the presence of thermal diffusion has been studied. The governing partial differential equations of the MHD free convective boundary layer flow are reduced to nonlinear ordinary differential equations by introducing suitable similarity transformations. The nonlinear similarity equations are then solved numerically by Nachtshiem-Swigert iteration technique. The results of the numerical solution are then presented graphically in the form of velocity, temperature and concentration profiles. The corresponding skin friction coefficient, the Nusselt number and the Sherwood number are also calculated and displayed in tables showing the effects of various parameters on them.
