Free convection flow of conducting fluid
near an isothermal semi-infinite vertical plate with
uniform free stream of constant velocity, and
temperature is investigated. The plate is at rest in
the presence of a uniform strong transverse
magnetic field and the Hall effects are taken into
account. The effects of internal heat generation or
absorption, and radiation are also considered. The
effects of the induced magnetic field has been
included in the analysis. The boundary layer
equations governing the problem under
consideration have been transformed into a system
of ordinary differential equations, which are
solved numerically.
Numerical data for the skin friction and the
Nusselt number have been tabulated for various
parametric conditions.
