Hall current has important contribution in the study of MHD viscous flows. It has many applications in problems of the Hall accelerators as well as in the flight MHD. The current trend is on the application of MHD towards a strong magnetic field and a low density of gas. For this reason, the Hall current and ion slip become important. Hydrodynamic flow of a viscous liquid through a straight channel in presence of Hall Effect is examined by Sato [1] , Yamanishi [2] , and Sherman and Sutton [3] . The Hall current effects on the boundary layer flow past a semi-infinite plate are studied by Katagiri [4] . Free convection flow of a conducting fluid permeated by a transverse magnetic field in the presence of the Hall effects and uniform magnetic field is analyzed by Pop and Watanabe [5] . Aboeldahab and Elbarbary [6] studied the effect of the Hall current on the MHD free convection flow in the presence of foreign species over a vertical surface, where the flow is subjected to a strong external magnetic field. Eichhorn [7] investigated the similarity solution by considering the power-law variations in the plate temperature and transpiration velocity. Vedhanayagam et al. [8] worked on the free convection flow along a vertical plate with the arbitrary blowing and wall temperature. Lin and Yu [9] investigated the free convection flow over a horizontal plate. Recently, Hossain et al. [10] investigated the natural convection flow from a vertical permeable flat plate with the variable surface temperature, considering the temperature and transpiration rates to follow the power-law variation. Saha et al. [11] studied the effect of Hall current on the steady laminar natural convection boundary layer flow of MHD viscous and incompressible fluids. Lately, Saha et al. [12] examined the effect of Hall current on MHD natural convection flow from vertical permeable flat plate with uniform surface heat flux. In recent years a number of studies of MHD convective heat and mass transfer boundary layer flow of viscous incompressible fluid were reported in the literature [13] -[25] . However, the effect of hall current and constant heat flux is still not getting promising attraction to the researchers. In this study MHD Free Convection and Mass Transfer Flow of Viscous Incompressible Fluid about an inclined Plate with Hall Current and Constant Heat Flux is investigated.

Steady natural convection boundary layer flow of an electrically conducting and viscous incompressible fluid from a semi-infinite heated permeable inclined flat plate with a uniform surface heat flux and transverse magnetic field with the effect of the Hall current is considered. Here x axis is taken along the vertically upward direction and y axis is normal to it. The leading edge of the permeable surface is taken along z axis. The uniform heat is supplied from the surface of the plate to the fluid, which is maintained uniformly throughout the fluid flow. The temperature and concentration at the wall are and respectively. The temperature and concentration outside the boundary layer are and respectively. Uniform magnetic field of magnitude is imposed to perpendicular to the flow along the y axis. Let the angle of inclination of the plate is and the plate is semi finite. The x component momentum equation reduces to the boundary layer equation if and only if body force is made by gravity, then the body force per unit mass is where is the accele-

ration due to gravity. Further no body force exists in the direction of y and z, i.e. and,

. The x component of pressure gradient at any point in the boundary layer must equal to the pressure gradient in the region outside the boundary layer, in this region,. Hence x component of pressure gra-

dient become where is the density of the surrounding fluid at temperature. The

quantity is related to the temperature difference and concentration (or mass) differences through the thermal volume expansion coefficient and concentration volume expansion coefficient

by the relation, , therefore,

We have the generalized ohm’s law in the absence of electric field to the case of short circuit problem is of the form

where, is the magnetic permeability, is the electron collision time, is the electrical conductivity, is the cyclotron frequency, is the applied magnetic field. Since no applied or polarized voltage exist, so the effect of polarization of fluid is negligible, i.e..

Therefore Equation (1) becomes

If is assumed that induced magnetic field generated by fluid motion is negligible in comparison to the applied one i.e.. This assumption is valid because magnetic Reynolds number is very small for liquid metals and partially ionized fluids.

Since the Hall coefficient is, so the Equation (2) we can write

where. The fundamental equations for the steady incompressible MHD flow with the generalized Ohm’s law and Maxwell’s equations, under the assumptions that the fluid is quasi-neutral, and the ion slip and thermoelectric effects can be neglected. Since the plate is semi-infinite and motion is steady, all physical equations will be the functions of x and y. Thus mathematically the problem reduces to a two dimensional problem given as follows:

Subjected to the boundary conditions

where are the velocity components in the direction respectively, is the kinematics viscosity, is the density. T, and are the temperature of the fluid inside the thermal boundary layer, the plate temperature and the fluid temperature in the free stream, respectively, while C, , are the corresponding concentrations. Also, is the electric conductivity of the medium, k is the thermal conductivity of the medium, is the coefficient of mass diffusivity, is the specific heat at constant pressure, Q is the constant heat flux per unit area and other symbols have their usual meaning.

In order to solve the above system (Figure 1) of Equations (6)-(9) with the boundary conditions (10), we

adopt the well-defined similarity analysis to attain similarity solutions. For this purpose, the following similarity transformations are now introduced;

Thus, Equations (6)-(10) becomes;

The equation defining the wall skin frictions are and which are proportional to and. The Nusselt number denoted by is proportional to, hence we have. The Sherwood number denoted by is proportional to, hence we have. The numerical values of the skin-friction coefficients, the Nusselt number and the Sherwood number are sorted in Tables 1-8.

In this study the MHD Free Convection and Mass Transfer Flow of Viscous Incompressible Fluid about an

inclined Plate with Hall Current and Constant Heat Flux have been investigated using the Nachtsheim-Swigert shooting iteration technique.

The effect of viscous incompressible fluid flow about an inclined plate with hall current is analyzed in the present study for constant heat flux. A range of physical parameter values tested over the boundary layer flows. The variation of different physical parameters instigated different flow pattern as increasing, decreasing and cross flow in the dimensionless primary and secondary velocity, temperature and concentration distribution as well as in the profile of skin friction coefficients, Nusseltand Sherwood number. The findings of the present investigation are briefly:

・ As suction parameter increases, the primary velocity, secondary velocity, temperature and concentration profiles decrease gradually. However for the same parameter effects, the skin friction coefficient decreases and Nusselt and Sherwood numbers increase.

・ The primary velocity, secondary velocity profiles as well as the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers decreased as magnetic parameter increased whereas the reverse effects found in the profile of temperature and concentration.

・ The cross-flow of primary and secondary velocity observed as Eckert number increases whereas temperature profile increases and concentration profile decreases for the same parameter effects. Also for the similar parameter effects skin friction coefficient and Sherwood number increase whereas Nusselt number decreases.

・ The increasing effect of Schmidt number causes primary and secondary velocity profile and concentration profile as well as the skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number decrease whereas the reverse situation observed in the temperature and Sherwood number profiles.

・ The cross flow of the primary and secondary velocity with the increase of Prandlt number has been observed, where both of the profiles first decrease and near the layer the profiles increase. However within the same parameter effects, the skin friction coefficient and Sherwood number decrease and Nusselt number increases.

・ As the parameter rises the cross flow pattern observed in primary and secondary velocity profiles whereas temperature and concentration profile increase. However for the same parameter effects the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number profiles decrease.

・ The increasing effect of Grashof and modified Grashof number causes the cross flow of the primary and secondary velocity whereas temperature and concentration profile decrease for the similar parameter effects. However the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number increase.
