✦ Synopsis

Numerical solutions to the MHD Falkner-Skan equation and the corresponding heat transfer equation have been obtained on taking into consideration the effects of suction and injection and the pressure gradient parameter /3. Velocity and temperature profiles are shown on graphs and the numerical values of the skin friction and the rate of heat transfer are given in the form of tables. It has been observed that an increase in Nm (magnetic field parameter) leads to an increase in velocity, skin friction, rate of heat transfer and a fall in temperature. Also an increase in suction leads to a fall in the value of the skin friction and the rate of heat transfer, opposite to the case of injection.
