Abstract

An investigation has been carried out numerically to study MHD natural convection flow of an incompressible, electrically conducting, radiative and heat absorbing fluid past a moving vertical plate with ramped temperature. Solutions of the governing partial differential equations for primary velocity, secondary velocity and temperature are obtained by using Finite element method. The influence of Magnetic parameter , thermal Grashof number , Hall current parameter , viscous dissipation and thermal radiation parameter on primary velocity, secondary velocity and temperature are computed numerically and represented graphically. Effect of pertinent flow parameters on shear stress and rate of heat transfer are displayed in a tabular form. Various comparisons with previously published work are performed and the results are found to be in excellent agreement.
