Description
Summary:This work investigates the influence of transverse magnetic field on forced convective flow and heat transfer of an incompressible electrically conducting fluid past a semi-infinite porous plate embedded in a Darcy-Forchheimer porous medium. Thermal radiation and viscous dissipation are considered in energy equation. The resulting mathematical model of the differential equations are converted into a set of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformations and then solved numerically by employing fourth order RK-method with shooting technique. The local skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are computed, graphical results for the dimensionless velocity and temperature field are reported and examined for some pertinent parameters showing the interacting aspects of the obtained solution.
