摘要: Free convection flow over an isothermal vertical cone immersed in a fluid with variable viscosity and MHD is studied this paper. Using appropriate variables, the basic equations are transformed into non-dimensional boundary-layer equations. These then solved numerically using very efficient implicit finite-difference method known as Crankl-Nicolson scheme. Detailed results for velocity, temperature, skin friction, heat transfer rates selection of parameter sets consisting parameter, magnetic field Prandtl number discussed. In order to validate our numerical results, present compared available work literature found be excellent agreement.
