Combined effect of conduction and viscous dissipation on magnetohydrodynamic free convection flow along a vertical flat plate

SUMMARY

This paper concerns the effects of conduction and viscous dissipation on natural convection flow of an incompressible, viscous and electrically conducting fluid in the presence of transverse magnetic field. Numerical solutions for the governing momentum and energy equations are given. A discussion has been provided for the effects of magnetic parameter, Prandtl number, conjugate conduction parameter and viscous dissipation parameter on two-dimensional flow. Results for the details of the velocity, temperature distributions as well as the skin friction and the rate of heat transfer are shown graphically. Also the numerical values of the surface temperature distributions are presented in tabular form.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jname.v4i2.992 Journal of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Vol.4(2) 2007 p.87-98
