Abstract:
Natural convection flow along a vertical flat plate has been revisited with respect to thermal conductivity, magnetic parameter, heat conduction, joule heating, coupling conduction, conjugate heat transfer and heat generation and finally a comparative analysis of free convection flow along a vertical flat plate is presented in this work where analysis are broadly discussed in order to discover the results in all the case. The graphical presentation of the surface shear stress in terms of skin friction coefficient and the rate of heat transfer in terms of local Nusselt number, velocity as well as temperature profiles are shown graphically for a selection of parameters set, consisting of magnetohydrodynamic parameter M, heat generation parameter Q, thermal conductivity n, joule heating J, coupling conduction p, Prandtl number Pr.
