Abstract

Comment on Effects of transverse magnetic field on mixed convection in wall plume of power-law fluids, by Rama Subba Reddy Gorla, Jin Kook Lee, Shoichiro Nakamura and Ioan Pop [International Journal of Engineering Science, 31 (1993) 1035-1045]. In the above paper the authors treat the boundary layer mixed convection flow of a power-law fluid along a vertical adiabatic surface in a transverse magnetic field with a steady thermal source at the leading edge. The governing non-similar equations are solved by means of a novel finite difference scheme. However, there are two fundamental errors in this paper and the presented results do not have any practical value.
