The nonlinear differential equations are solved using implicit finite difference Keller box method. Graphical results of fluid velocity and temperature profile are presented and discussed for various parameters. Keyords: MHD boundary layer, moving surface, heat transfer, Keller box method. I. INTRODUCTION Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is the study of the collaboration of conducting fluids ith electromagnetic phenomena. The flo of an electrically conducting fluid in the occurrence of a magnetic field is important in various areas of technology and engineering such as MHD poer generation, MHD flo meters, MHD pumps, etc. Rosso [], as discussed MHD boundary layer flo past a flat plate. He discussed to cases namely, magnetic field is fixed relative to play and magnetic fluid is fixed relative to fluid. Heat transfer of MHD boundary layer flo past a flat plate has been discussed by Rosso [], Carrier and Green Span [], and Afzal [3]. Rosso[] has studied transverse magnetic field hereas Carrier et al. [] have considered the effect of a longitudinal magnetic field effect on the velocity and the temperature profile distribution. Sakiadis [4] studied the problem of forced convection along an isothermal moving plate. Erickson et al. [5] discussed the heat and mass transfer on a moving continuous flat plate ith suction or inection. Tsou et al. [6] considered flo and heat transfer in the boundary layer on a continuously moving surface. In this paper, MHD boundary layer heat transfer flo over a continuously moving plate is considered and solved ith the help of implicit finite difference Keller box method and various results are discussed graphically. II. GOVERNING EQUATIONS Consider the steady flo of an electrically conducting, viscous, incompressible fluid past a continuously moving flat plate ith even velocity and surface temperature in the presence of uniform transverse magnetic field. The magnetic Reynolds number of the flo is taken to be very small so that the induced magnetic field can be ignored. The fluid properties are assumed to be isotropic and constant. Therefore, under the usual boundary layer approximations, the governing equations of motion are [7] u v 0 x y () u u u B0 u u v x y y () T T u u B0 u v x y y Cp y Cp u (3) here u and v are velocity components in x and y directions respectively, is the kinematic viscosity, is the electrical conductivity, T is the temperature, is the thermal diffusivity of the fluid and heat at constant pressure.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Graphically, effects of magnetic parameter (M), moving parameter (r) and Eckert Number (Ec) on velocity profile as ell as on temperature profile are shon in folloing figures. Fig. and Fig shos, the fluid velocity profile decreases as the magnetic parameter increases for constant value of moving parameter r =0 and r =0. respectively. Fig 3 presents velocity profile for different values of moving parameter. In Fig 4 and Fig 5, as the magnetic parameter M and Eckert number (Ec) increases the temperature profile increases. While in Fig 6, temperature profile decreases as Prandtl number increases. (0).iosrournals.org Page
