Abstract

The current paper explores the steady laminar ow of viscous in compressible uid between two parallel in nite plates when a pressure gradient which is constant is imposed on the system and the top plate is also stimulating with continual velocity and lower plate is held stationery under the in uence of magnetic eld. The guiding partial di erential equation is changed into ordinary di erential equation and the solved numerically using central di erence method and analytically using laplace transformation method done by Singh,2014. The e ect of the arising important parameter on ow characteristics has been discussed through tables A comparative study has been taken into account between existing results and present work and it has been found to be in excellent harmony The numerical expression for uid velocity at a di erent inclination has been shown on the table and graph which shows that the increase of inclination of magnetic eld there is a decrease in velocity pro le.
