Abstract: | This paper examined the hydromagnetic mixed convection stagnation point flow towards a vertical plate embedded in a highly
porous medium with radiation and internal heat generation. The governing boundary layer equations are formulated and transformed
into a set of ordinary differential equations using a local similarity approach and then solved numerically by shooting iteration
technique together with Runge-Kutta sixth-order integration scheme. A representative set of numerical results are displayed
graphically and discussed quantitatively to show some interesting aspects of the pertinent parameters on the dimensionless
axial velocity, temperature and the concentration profiles, local skin friction, local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number,
the rate of heat and mass transfer. Good agreement is found between the numerical results of the present paper with the earlier
published works under some special cases. |
