Abstract

This paper is concerned with steady free convection flow of an electrically conducting viscous incompressible magneto polar fluid through a porous medium, over a semi-infinite vertical porous plate under slip boundary conditions for velocity and temperature. Using perturbation technique expressions for velocity field, temperature field, skin friction and rate of heat transfer have been obtained. Effects of Grashof number (G), permeability parameter (K), magnetic parameter (M), rarefaction parameters (h₁ and r₁) and rotational parameters (α and λ) are discussed in detail and also shown graphically.
