Hall effects on MHD free convective flow and mass transfer over a stretching sheet

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

Of concern in this paper is an investigation of heat and mass transfer over a stretching sheet under the influence of an applied uniform magnetic field and the effects of Hall current are taken into account. The non-linear boundary layer equations together with the boundary conditions are reduced to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations by using the similarity transformation. The system of non-linear ordinary differential equations are solved by developing a suitable numerical techniques such as finite difference scheme and Newton's method of linearization. The numerical results concerned with the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles as well as the skin-friction coefficient, local Nusselt number Nu and the local sherhood number Sh for various values of the nondimensional parameters presented graphically.
