Abstract
The effects of magnetic field and heat generation/absorption are investigated along a permeable stretching/shrinking wedge on unsteady MHD forced convective flow with thermophoresis and variable fluid properties. The obtained results are found to be in excellent harmony with previously published work. For various parameter values entered into the problem, the non-dimensional velocity curve, temperature fields, and concentration curves and the numerical results for variable Prandtl and variable Schmidt numbers are graphically depicted. Since the Prandtl and Schmidt numbers vary greatly inside the boundary layer for flows with temperature-dependent variable thermal conductivity and variable viscosity, therefore, in the physical system- we must consider the Prandtl and Schmidt number as variables rather than constant when the fluid properties are the function of temperature.
