Abstract
Ferrofluid is a liquid that becomes magnetized in the presence of magnetic field. Applications involves in electronic devices, mechanical engineering, materials science research and loudspeakers. This study is achieved to explore the novel two-dimensional steady ferrofluid flow in a porous medium with the temperature dependent thermal conductivity and viscosity effect. ODE’s are obtained with the help of appropriate similarity transformation. Later the equations are work out by applying shooting scheme with RK-4 technique. To achieve the results of non-dimensional physical parameters the numerical computations are put into execution. The graphical consequences for fluids velocity and temperature for variable effects of viscosity and thermal conductivity are demonstrated. Velocity of fluid decays for viscosity parameter while the temperature uplifts in the presences of viscosity. Furthermore, comparison of the results with previous one shows that the applied method is efficient and useful for calculating the parameters of present problem and have acceptable accuracy.
