Free convection flow around a heated vertical flat plate in the presence of a magnetic field is very important from the technical standpoint, and several researchers have studied this issue. The effects of variable viscosity and thermal conductivity on Magneto-Hydrodynamics (MHD) free convection flow over an isothermal vertical plate immersed in a fluid with heat conduction will be studied in this study. The two-dimensional, laminar, and unsteady boundary layer equations are considered in this paper. Using relevant variables, simple governing equations are transformed into non-dimensional governing equations. The implicit finite difference scheme, also known as the Crank-Nicolson scheme, is used to solve these equations numerically. This research looks at viscous incompressible fluids with temperature-dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity. The effect of various parameters on velocity, temperature, local skin friction, and local heat transfer coefficient profiles will be shown in this study, and the results will be compared to those of other researchers. The current numerical results will be compared to the results of previously published works. Figures from the current thesis will be compared to those from previously published works. The outcomes result will be shown in graphs for various values of relevant physical parameters.
