• RADIATION AND VISCOUS DISSIPATION EFFECTS ON STEADY MHD MARANGONI CONVECTION FLOW OVER A PERMEABLE FLAT SURFACE WITH HEAT GENERATION/ABSORPTION

Abstract

A steady, two-dimensional, Marangoni convection flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting and radiating fluid along a permeable flat plate in the presence of magnetic field and heat generation/absorption is analyzed. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. The resultant equations are then solved using Range-Kutta method along with shooting technique. The behavior of velocity and temperature as well as Nusselt number for different values of governing parameters are computed and discussed in detail.
