Abstract
Free convection heat transfer due to the simultaneous action of buoyan cy, radiation and transverse magnetic field is investigated for a semi -infinite vertical plate. Solutions are derived by expanding the strea m function and the temperature into a series in terms of the parameter xi=x(1/2)L(-1/2), where L is the length of the plate. Velocity and te mperature functions are shown on graphs and the numerical values of fu nctions affecting the shear stress and the rate of heat transfer are e ntered in a table. The effects of the magnetic field parameter lambda and the radiation parameter F on these functions are discussed.
