Mixed Convection Heat Transfer of MHD Flow Due to Permeable Sheet: An Analytical Solution

Abstract

In this paper we investigate the analytical solution for MHD flow and heat transfer of electrically conducting fluid due to vertical starching surface. Here the diffusion thermo (Dufour) and thermal diffusion (Soret) effects are considered. It is shown that the porosity, magnetic, convection, concentrationand buoyancy effects can be combined with a new parameter called porous- magneto-convection-concentration parameters .The effect of physical parameter influencing the flow and heat transfer are studied and results are plotted and discussed.
