Abstract :
The simultaneous effect of chemical reaction and magnetic field on an unsteady laminar free convection flow past an isothermal vertical cone is studied in this paper. The non linear governing equations are first written into a dimensionless form, and then Alternating Direction Implicit (ADI) Technique is applied to obtain numerical solutions of the governing equations. Flow variables are obtained and are presented graphically for different values of Prandtl number, Schmidt number. From numerical results, it is noticed that higher values of Prandtl number as well as Schmidt number results in decrease in velocity

Key-Words / Index Term :
Chemical reaction, free convection flow, Magnetic field, vertical cone
