The effects of variable viscosity and thermal conductivity on heat transfer for hydromagnetic flow over a continuous moving porous plate with Ohmic heating

A numerical study of heat transfer from boundary layer flow driven by a continuous moving porous plate is proposed. The flow with electrically fluid due to the plate in the presence of a transverse magnetic field and Ohmic heating was molded as a steady, viscous, and incompressible. Both viscosity and thermal conductivity were variable and considered only a function of temperature. Similar analysis with Chebyshev finite difference method (ChFD) was developed to solve the governing equations for momentum and energy and determine the skin-friction coefficient and heat transfer rate. As the magnetic parameter and variable viscosity parameter increase, the fluid temperature and skin-friction coefficient increase and the fluid velocity and heat transfer rate decrease. The fluid temperature increases and heat transfer rate decreases with an increasing Eckert number and thermal conductivity parameter. The skin-friction coefficient and heat transfer rate increase, whereas the fluid velocity and temperature decrease as the wall suction velocity increase.
