ABSTRACT: In this paper, unsteady free convection heat transfer flow over a vertical plate in the presence of a magnetic field is discussed in detail. The dimensionless partial differential equations of continuity, momentum along energy are analyzed with suitable transformations. For numerical calculation, an implicit finite difference method is applied to solve a set of nonlinear dimensionless partial differential equations. Dimensionless velocity and temperature profile are also investigated due to the effects of assumed parameters in the concerned problem. An explicit finite difference technique is used to compute velocity and temperature profiles. The stability conditions are also examined.
