Of concern in this paper is an investigation of the combined effects of thermal radiation and Hall current on momentum, heat and mass transfer in laminar boundary-layer flow over an inclined permeable stretching sheet with variable viscosity. The sheet is linearly stretched in the presence of an external magnetic field and the fluid motion is subjected to a uniform porous medium. The effect of internal heat generation/absorption is also taken into account. The fluid viscosity is assumed to vary as an inverse linear function of temperature. The boundary-layer equations that governing the flow problem have reduced to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations with a suitable similarity transformation. Then the transformed equations are solved numerically by employing a finite difference scheme. Thus the results obtained are presented graphically for the various parameters of interest.

In this paper, we study the impacts of variable viscosity , heat and mass transfer on magneto hydrodynamic (MHD) peristaltic flow in a asymmetric tapered inclined channel with porous medium . The viscosity is considered as a function of temperature. The slip conditions at the walls were taken into consideration. SmallReynolds number and the long wavelength approximations were used to simplify the governing equations. A comparison between the two velocities in cases of slip and no-slip was plotted. It was observed that the behavior of the velocity differed in the two applied models for some parameters. Mathematica software was used to estimate the exact solutions of temperature and concentration profiles. The resolution of the equations to the momentum was based on the perturbation method to find the axial velocity, pressure gradient and trapping phenomenon. The influences of the various flow parameters of the problem on these distributions were debated and proved graphically by figures.
