ABSTRACT
This study deals with the problem of steady laminar flow of an electrically conducting viscous incompressible fluid between two parallel porous plates of a channel in the presence of a transverse magnetic field when the fluid is being withdrawn through both the walls of a channel at the same rate. A solution for the case of small R (Suction Reynolds number) and M (Hartmann number) is discussed. Expressions for the velocity components and the pressure are obtained. The governing nonlinear differential equations are solved numerically using R-K Gill`s method and the graphs of axial and radial velocity profiles have been drawn.
