Research Abstract

Deals with heat and mass trans fer by steady lam i nar bound ary layer flow of
New to nian, vis cous fluid over a ver ti cal flat plate em bed ded in a fluid-sat u -
rated po rous me dium in the pres ence of thermophoretic and mag netic field.
The re sult ing sim i lar ity equa tion are solved by fi nite dif fer ence march ing
