PLANE STAGNATION DOUBLE-DIFFUSIVE MHD CONVECTIVE FLOW UNDER THE PRESENCE OF VISCOUS DISSIPATION, THERMAL RADIATION AND UNIFORM MAGNETIC FIELD

Abstract

 In this paper, plane stagnation double-diffusive MHD convective flow with convective boundary conditions in the presence of thermal radiation and uniform magnetic field is investigated. The governing non-linear partial differential equations have been reduced to a system of nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations with the use of similarity transformations. The resulting equations were solved numerically using the classical fourth order Runge-Kutta formula together with shooting technique implemented on a computer program. The effects of the physical parameters were observed on the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles. Computational analyses for the skin-friction coefficients, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers were made and presented through tables and graphical plots for various fluid parameters.
