  • Summary

  • 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 were investigated. Numerical solutions for the governing momentum and energy equations were defined. The effects of magnetic parameter, viscous dissipation parameter and heat generation parameter on two-dimensional flow were also analysed. The velocity profile, temperature distribution, skin friction, rate of heat transfer and the surface temperature distribution were also studied.
