Abstract

The present analysis is focused on free convective heat and mass transfer characteristics of magneto flow through a moving inclined plate under the influence of Aligned magnetic, viscous dissipation and thermal radiation. A uniform magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the plate. The governing non-dimensional linear partial differential equations are solved by using perturbation technique. Graphical results for the velocity, temperature and concentration distributions within the boundary layer for several physical parameters and tabulated results for the Skin-friction, the Nusselt number and the Sherwood number are displayed and discussed. The effect of increasing values of the viscous dissipation parameter or the Eckert number is to enhance the velocity and temperature fields. The current study is well supported by the verification of a previous result.
