Abstract

In this study we consider MHD steady fluid flow between two infinite parallel vertical porous plates with heat transfer. The governing equations considered we reduced to specific form according to the geometry of the studied problem. The non-dimensional governing equations involved in the present analysis are solved using the finite difference technique and the expressions for velocity and temperature distributions have been obtained. The effect of different parameters such as magnetic parameter, Prandtl number, thermal Grashoff number, and the temperature and velocity distributions are discussed.
