Abstract

A study has been carried out to obtain the solutions for hydromagnetic mixed convection stagnation point flow with radiative heat and mass transfer past a vertical plate embedded in a porous medium. The governing two dimensional equations are transformed using a similarity transformation and then solved numerically by shooting method coupled with Runge-Kutta iteration technique. Comparison with previously published work is performed and full agreement is obtained. A parametric study illustrating the influence of the magnetic field parameter, thermal radiation parameter, thermal Grashof number, Grashof numbers, Prandtl number, Schmidt number, on the velocity, temperature, and concentration field as well as the local friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number and the Sherwood number is carried out. The results are illustrated graphically and in tabular form to depict special features of the solutions.
