Research Abstract

A similarity solution is presented for the heat
transfer flow considering slip conditions along with hall and
ion-slip currents. The governing partial differential equations
are reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations and
then solved numerically by the method of Nachtsheim-Swigert
shooting iteration technique based of Runge-Kutta sixth order
iteration scheme. Results for the non dimensional velocity and
temperature profiles are shown graphically for a range of
values of the problem parameter. The profiles for shear stress
due to primary and secondary velocity and temperature
gradient are also studied.
