Abstract
This paper examines the unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) mixed convection flow over a sphere combined with
variable fluid properties. An implicit finite difference scheme, together with the quasi-linearization, is used to find non-similar
solutions for the governing equations. The vanishing skin friction is prevented or at least delayed by enhancing the mixed
convection in both the cases of steady and unsteady fluid flow. Both skin friction and heat transfer coefficients are found to be
increasing with an increase in time or MHD parameter.
