MHD NATURAL CONVECTION FLOW PAST A MOVING VERTICAL PLATE WITH RAMPED TEMPERATURE

An investigation has been carried out numerically to study MHD natural convection flow of an incompressible,
electrically conducting, radiative, viscous dissipation and heat absorbing fluid past a moving vertical plate with ramped
temperature. Solutions of the governing partial differential equations for primary velocity, secondary velocity and
temperature are obtained by using Finite element method. The influence of Magnetic parameter 2 M , thermal Grashof
number Gr , Hall current parameter m, viscous dissipation Ec and thermal radiation parameter Nr on primary velocity,
secondary velocity and temperature are computed numerically and represented graphically. Effect of pertinent flow
parameters on shear stress and rate of heat transfer are displayed in a tabular form. Various comparisons with previously
published work are performed and the results are found to be in excellent agreement
