Abstract
An exact similarity solution is presented for developing mixed convection flows of electrically conducting fluids over a semi-infinite horizontal plate with vectored mass transfer at the wall which are subjected to an applied transverse magnetic field. This solution is given for the case of a wall temperature that is inversely proportional to the square root of the distance from the leading edge. By application of appropriate coordinate transformations, the governing momentum and energy boundary-layer equations are expressed as a set of coupled ordinary differential equations that depend on a magnetic parameter, the buoyancy parameter, and the Prandtl number. The shear stress, the total heat transfer, and the displacement thickness are calculated for different values of both buoyancy and magnetic parameters.
