    The paper investigates two-dimensional, steady, nonlinear laminar boundary layer heat and mass transfer MHD flow past a stretching porous surface embedded in a porous medium under the action of internal heat generation with the consideration of viscous and joules heat dissipation in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. The two-dimensional governing equations are solved by using MATLAB built in bvp4c solver technique for different values of physical parameters. The numerical values of various flow parameters such as velocity, temperature, concentration are calculated numerically and analysed graphically for various values of the   non-dimensional physical parameters of the problem followed by conclusions. The study concludes opposite behaviour of transverse and longitudinal velocity under the action of suction velocity in addition to the effects of heat source on fluid velocities, temperature and concentration

    The paper examines solution for a two-dimensional steady, viscous, heat dissipation, incompressible hydro-magnetic free convective flow past a uniformly moving vertical porous plate immersed in a porous material in the presence of the Soret effect, Dofour effect and Chemical reaction. A constant magnetic field is directed into the fluid area perpendicular to the plate. The MATLAB built-in bvp4c solver approach is used to solve the governing non-dimensional equations. The discussion of the current issue focuses mostly on the impacts of thermal diffusion, magnetic field, thermal radiation, Grashof number, Soret number, Dufour number, and chemical reaction. It is observed that the Soret number improves fluid temperature. In addition, the fluid's temperature, concentration, and velocity all drop as the magnetic field parameter rises. Although the heat dissipation caused by the medium's porosity is usually disregarded in convective MHD flow simulations, it is considered in this work

    An analysis is carried out to study laminar MHD convection flow of a second order dusty viscoelastic fluid in porous medium through an inclined parallel plate channel in the presence of molecular diffusivity. The plates are maintained at two different temperatures that decay with time. The study is done under the consideration that viscosity and density of the fluid are variable to the extent that it causes stratification and joule heating effect in the process of the flow. The purpose of the study is to examine how stratification and joule heating affect the flow in relation to the physical quantities namely, Stratification factor, Hartmann number, Viscoelastic coefficient, Joule heating parameter, Prandtl number, Eckert number, Schmidt number and Porosity of the medium etc. The non-dimensional governing equations are solved analytically by using regular perturbation technique, and the graphs are plotted using MATLAB programming language. The mathematical expressions for fluid and particle velocity, fluid temperature, fluid concentration, skin friction for fluid and particle, flow flux for fluid and particle, Nusselt number, Sherwood number at the plates are evaluated and their nature of variations for different numerical values of physical parameters are shown graphically, discussed and conclusions are drawn

    Effect of Induced Magnetic Field on MHD Flow Between Two Parallel Porous Plates at Constant Temperature Gradient in Presence of Inclined Magnetic Field

    The paper studies effect of induced magnetic field on laminar convection flow of a viscous electrically conducting incompressible fluid between two parallel porous plates at constant temperature gradient in presence of a uniform inclined magnetic field. An angle (θ) is formed with the vertical line by applying a magnetic field in that direction and field is strong enough to induce another field along the line of flow. Using the proper similarity transformations, the flow equations are converted into ordinary differential equations, which are then numerically solved by using MATLAB's bvp4c solver. Plotting of the graphs allows one to examine the effects of several critical parameters such as Hartmann number, Darcy number, Magnetic Reynolds number, Prandtl number, and Field inclination on velocity field, induced magnetic field, temperature field at the plates. The acquired results demonstrate that the flow system is effectively influenced by the field inclination, the magnetic parameter, and the plate porosity. The rise in field inclination leads to an increase in magnetic drag force
