Abstract

Effects of variable thermal conductivity on the mixed convection flow over a porous stretching surface are investigated. Analysis has been performed subject to the convective boundary conditions. The fluid is electrically conducting in the presence of a uniform applied magnetic field. The resulting problems are computed. The effects of emerging parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles are displayed and discussed. The values of the skin-friction coefficient and local Nusselt number are analyzed numerically.
