| Abstract | In this paper, we investigated the effects of therm al dissipation, heat generation or absorption on MHD mixed convection bo undary layer flow over a permeable vertical flat plate embedded in an anisot ropic porous medium saturated with viscous Newtonian fluid. The non-lin ear partial differential equations describing the problem were reduced to co upled ordinary differential equations by means of dimensional analysis and appr opriate transformations. The resulting boundary layer equations were solved nume rically using a shooting quadrature implemented on an efficient and reliable software package. The influences of the embedded flow parameters sequel t o the flow and heat transfer were attested on pertinent thermo fluid characteris ics, such as the skin friction coefficient, the Nusselt number in table and plots while attributes due to the dimensionless velocity and temperature were demonst rated graphically. Considerable effects of all the governing flow para meters were observed 32 A. Adeniyan et al. quantitatively on all important physical quantities . It is conjectured that the results obtained will not only provide useful infor mation for applications but also serve as a complement to the previous studies relat ed to anisotropic porous media. There has not been documented archive on thi s particular study of ours yet. The present work can thusly be adduced origina l. |
