Abstract

Abstract

An analysis was performed to study them agneto hydrodynamic flow of an electrically conducting, viscous incompressible fluid past a semi-infinite vertical plate with variable surface temperature, under the action of transversely applied magnetic field was carried out. The heat due to viscous dissipation and the induced magnetic field were assumed to be negligible. The dimension less governing equations are unsteady, two-dimensional, coupled and non-linear governing equations. It is found that the magnetic field parameter has a retarding effect on the velocity of air and water.
