Abstract

The magnetic hydrodynamic free convective flow past an infinite stretching porous sheet at constant density for electrically conducting fluid with viscous dissipation was numerically studied. The study revolved around an unsteady two-dimensional free convective laminar flow through a porous medium with the interaction of magnetic area standard to the stream. The graphs represented the effects of material parameters on the temperature and velocity profiles across the fluid boundary layer. The solutions of partial differential equations obtained numerically using an implicit finite difference method for various values of (nu), numbers (0.5 to 0.7) at a constant thermal conductivity (kappa=0.1). The velocity and temperature of MHD flow increased with an increase in viscous dissipation and vice versa.
