Chemically reacting Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) boundary layer flow of heat and mass transfer past a low-heat-resistant sheet moving vertically downwards

A theoretical study has been conducted to investigate the steady Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) boundary layer flow past a low-heat-resistant sheet moving vertically downwards. The fluid is considered viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting. The non-linear coupled differential equations are solved numerically by applying Runge-Kutta integration scheme coupled with Newton-Raphson shooting technique. The results show that the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are appreciably influenced by the presence of the transverse magnetic field. Also, the effects of various parameters on the skin-friction, the Nusselt and the Sherwood numbers are discussed.
