Abstract: The study of hydromagnetic natural flow of convection of heat absorbing fluid past a spontaneously moving infinite vertical plate in the occurrence of unchanging magnetic field are considered. The momentum and energy incomplete differential equations controlling the hydromagnetic fluid currents were solved by applying the method of Central finite difference. A resulting set of partial differential equations were solved using MATLAB in computer programmer. The study determined the impacts of magnetic path parameter, Prandtl number and Grashof number on speed profiles and temperature distribution. The findings were presented in graphical and tabular form to show the impacts of the non-dimensional parameters arising in the fluid flow.

Keywords: Hydromagnetic, Grashof number, Magnetic field parameter, Prandtl number
