Abstract

Heat and Mass transfer MHD stokes problem for a dissipative heat generating fluid with radiation absorption, mass diffusion, Hall and ion-slip currents is presented. The set of governing equations for the problem are solved by a finite difference algorithm. Effects of the various parameters in the laminar boundary layer on concentration, rate of mass transfer, velocity, skin friction, temperature and rate of heat transfer are discussed with the aid of graphs and tables.

Keywords: ion-slip current, hall current, radiation absorption, mass transfer, heat transfer, magnetic field, dissipative heat, free convection
