Abstract
The study of unsteady hydromagnetic free convective flow of viscous incompressible and electrically conducting fluids past an infinite vertical porous plate in the presence of constant suction and heat absorbing sinks has been made. Approximate solutions have been derived for the velocity and temperature fields, mean skin-friction and mean rate of heat transfer using multi-parameter perturbation technique. It is observed that increase in magnetic field strength decreases the velocity of the fluid. Also the mean skin-friction and mean rate of heat transfer of the conducting fluid decrease with increase in magnetic field strength.
