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.

Aim of the paper is to investigate effects of ohmic heating and viscous dissipation on steady flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid in the presence of uniform transverse magnetic field and variable free stream near a stagnation point on a stretching non-conducting isothermal sheet. The governing equations of continuity, momentum, and energy are transformed into ordinary differential equations and solved numerically using Runge-Kutta fourth order with shooting technique. The velocity and temperature distributions are discussed numerically and presented through graphs. Skin-friction coefficient and the Nusselt number at the sheet are derived, discussed numerically, and their numerical values for various values of physical parameters are compared with earlier results and presented through tables.

This paper studies the effects of Hall and ion slip on two dimensional incompressible flow and heat transfer of an electrically conducting viscous fluid in a porous medium between two parallel plates, generated due to periodic suction and injection at the plates. The flow field, temperature and pressure are assumed to be periodic functions in ti e ω and the plates are kept at different but constant temperatures. A numerical solution for the governing nonlinear ordinary differential equations is obtained using quasilinearization method. The graphs for velocity, temperature distribution and skin friction are presented for different values of the fluid and geometric parameters.
