Abstract
This work presents a study of the flow and heat transfer of an
incompressible viscous electrically conducting fluid over a continuously moving
vertical infinite plate with uniform suction and heat flux in the presence of
radiation taking into account the effects of variable viscosity. It is found that the
velocity increases as the viscosity of air or the magnetic parameter decreases and
the thermal boundary layer thickness increases as the radiation parameter
increases. The skin-friction coefficient is computed and discussed for various
values of the parameters.
