A numerical analysis is performed to study the MHD flow of an electrically conducting, incompressible, viscous fluid past a semi-infinite vertical plate with constant heat flux, subjected to a transversely applied magnetic field. The heat due to viscous dissipation and the induced magnetic field are assumed to be negligible. The dimensionless goveming equations are unsteady, two-dimensional, coupled, and non-linear. A most accurate, unconditionally stable and fast converging implicit finite difference scheme is used to solve the non-dimensional goveming equations. Velocity and temperature of the flow have been presented graphically for various parameters. The local and average skin friction and Nusselt number are also presented graphically.
