dc.description.abstract | The present work is devoted to the problem of a steady two di-
mensional hydromagnetic convective
ow of a viscous, incompressible
electrically conducting
uid past an inclined semi-in nite plate in the
presence of magnetic eld with heat and mass transfer (double di u-
sion). The convective
ow starts under the simultaneous action of the
buoyancy forces caused by the variations in density due to tempera-
ture and species concentration di erences. A scaling group of similarity
transformations is applied to the partial di erential equations describ-
ing the problem under consideration, into a boundary value problem of
coupled ordinary di erential equations, which along with the boundary
conditions are solved numerically by using shooting technique together
with Runge-Kutta fourth order method and e ects of various parame-
ters on the
ow elds are investigated and presented graphically. | en_US |
