Abstract

Some analyses have been carried out to study the influence of uction/blowing, thermal radiation and temperature dependent fluid properties on he hydro-magnetic incompressible electrically conducting fluid flow and heat ransfer over a permeable stretching surface with partial slip boundary conditions. It s assumed that the fluid viscosity and the thermal conductivity vary as an inverse unction and linear function of temperature respectively. Using the similarity ransformation, the governing system of non-linear partial differential equations are ransformed into non-linear ordinary differential equations and are solved umerically using symbolic software MATHEMATICA 7.0. The effects of various hysical parameters on the flow and heat transfer characteristics as well as the skin riction coefficient and Nusselt number are illustrated graphically. The physical spects of the problem are highlighted and discussed.
