Summary

A theoretical solution for hydromagnetic convection over a continuously moving vertical surface with uniform suction is obtained. A flow of this types represents a new class of boundary-layer flow at a surface of finite length. The solutions for the velocity and temperature profiles are obtained. It is observed that the velocity decreases considerably in the presence of a magnetic field, as compared to its absence.
