MHD Convective Flow of Stratified Viscous Fluid Past of Flat Plate in Slip Flow Regime: Analysis with Variable Thermal Conductivity and Heat Source

Convective flow of a unsteady, incompressible, viscous stratified fluid through porous medium past a moving porous plate under slip boundary conditions for velocity field and jump in temperature in the presence of an absorption type heat source under the influence of magnetic field applied normal to the flow is studied. Using regular perturbation technique, the solutions for velocity and temperature distribution are obtained. The expressions for skin-friction and rate of heat transfer are also derived. The effects of various parameters on velocity field and temperature field are depicted graphically, whereas skin-friction and rate of heat transfer are presented in tabular form and discussed.
