The problem of steady, two-dimensional, laminar, hydromagnetic flow with heat and mass transfer over a semi-infinite, permeable flat surface in the presence of such effects as thermophoresis and heat generation or absorption is considered. A similarity transformation is used to reduce the governing partial differential equations into ordinary ones. The obtained selfsimilar equations are then solved numerically by an implicit, tri-diagonal, finite-difference scheme. Favourable comparison with previously published work is performed. Numerical results for the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles as well as for the skin-friction coefficient, wall heat transfer and particle deposition rate are obtained and reported graphically for various parametric conditions to show interesting aspects of the solution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
