Numerical Studies of MHD Convective Fluid Flows in Various Geometries

In this book an attempt is made to analyze the heat and mass transfer effects on a laminar two-dimensional steady/unsteady convection flow of a viscous incompressible and radiating Newtonian/non-Newtonian fluid past a stretching wedge/stretching sheet/thin liquid film bounded by a porous/non-porous medium by taking viscous dissipation uniform/non-uniform heat source/sink activation energy and binary chemical reaction aligned/non-aligned magnetic strength into account. The approximate solutions are obtained by using Runge-Kutta with the shooting method. A parametric study is carried out to illustrate the behavior of the velocity temperature concentration skin-friction Nusselt number and Sherwood number for variations in the various thermophysical and hydrodynamical parameters and are represented in figures and tables.
