Heat transfer in viscous free convective fluctuating MHD flow past a hot vertical porous plate with variable temperature

The present analysis examines the free convective magnetohydrodynamic (MHD ) flow of a viscous incompressible and electrically conducting fluid past a hot vertical porous plate. The temperature of the plate varies both in space and time. The non-linear coupled partial differential equations are solved by the series expansion method. The dependence of the important flow characteristics i.e. the skin friction and the Nusselt number on various parameters are discussed. (author)
