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.
