On Pade Approximants Series Solutions of MHD Flow Equations with Heat and Mass Transfer Due to a Point Sink

The objective is to revisit the problem pertaining to the similarity boundary layer equations governing magneto-fluid dynamic steady incompressible laminar boundary layer flow for a point sink with an applied magnetic field, heat and mass transfer. The series solution method has been effectively implemented to a related integro-differential equation. The condition at infinity is applied to a related Pade approximants of the obtained series solution. The features of the flow characteristic, heat and mass transfer have been analyzed and discussed with respect to the pertinent parameters viz magnetic and suction/injection parameters. It has been found that the magnetic filed increases the skin friction but it reduces the heat transfer. Comparison of the obtained results for some particular cases of the present study has been done with the earlier results and they have been found in good agreement.
