Abstract

This study investigates mixed convection heat transfer about a permeable vertical plate in the presence of magneto and thermal radiation effects. The effects of the mixed convection parameter, the radiation–conduction parameter, the surface temperature parameter, the magnetic parameter and the suction/injection parameter on the local skin friction and local heat transfer parameters are presented and analyzed.
