In this paper, an investigation of unsteady free convective magneto-hydro
dynamic (MHD) flow of salty water in the presence of a transverse magnetic
field has been carried out. An electrically conducting and incompressible flu-
id is assumed to flow past a semi-infinite vertical porous plate. A constant
magnetic field is applied normally to the vertical plate. The Prandtl numbers
for salt water are taken to be 1 at 20 ̊C. The governing equations of the prob-
lem contain non-linear partial differential equations that are transformed into
ordinary differential equations. An explicit finite difference scheme has been
used to solve the transformed ordinary equations generated from this flow
problem. The velocity profiles and temperature distribution of the flow field
have been discussed and presented graphically.
