Abstract

In this paper we discussed the impacts of Hall current and induced magnetic field on the steady flow of Walters’B fluid, driven by the thermal and concentration buoyancy forces, over a magnetised convectively heated inclined surface in a uniform porous regime. Suitable non-dimensional transformations are used to convert the problem to a similar non-dimensional problem. The resulting flow governing equations are solved by implementing the regular perturbation method. The flow behaviours for various system parameters are discussed with the help of graphs and tables that are computed and generated using MATHEMATICA software. It is examined that the rising values of angle of inclination reduce the buoyancy force that causes the reduction of the flow. Furthermore, it is noted that the current density at the magnetised inclined surface reduces as the angle of inclination rises.
