Abstract

In this paper, the effects of magnetic field, viscous dissipation and heat generation on natural convection flow of an incompressible, viscous and electrically conducting fluid along a vertical flat plate in the presence of conduction are investigated. Numerical solutions for the governing momentum and energy equations are given. A discussion is provided for the effects of magnetic parameter, viscous dissipation parameter and heat generation parameter on two-dimensional flow. Detailed analysis of the velocity profile, temperature distribution, skin friction, rate of heat transfer and the surface temperature distribution are shown graphically.
