MHD free convective flow along an inclined permeable stretching sheet with viscous dissipation and chemical reaction

In this paper, the effects of viscous dissipation and nth order chemical reaction on MHD free convective heat and mass transfer flow along an inclined stretching sheet have been studied numerically with suction. The obtained self-similar and non-linear ordinary differential equations have been solved numerically by applying Nachtsheim-Swigert shooting iteration technique with sixth-order Runge-Kutta integration scheme. Comparison with previously published work was performed and very good agreement is obtained. Numerical results for the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles as well as for the local skin-friction coefficient, wall heat and mass transfer rate are obtained and reported graphically for different values of the dimensionless parameters. The analysis of the obtained results shows that the viscous dissipation parameter, chemical reaction parameter, order ofchemical reaction and suction parameter influence the flow field appreciably
