Abstract
The study of combined effects of electro-osmotic and magnetohydrodynamic when viscosity and thermal conductivity of the reactive fluid flow is assumed to vary exponentially with temperature is examined. The governing equations of the flow were non-dimensionalized using suitable variables. The Galerkin weighted residue method was adopted to solve both the momentum and energy equations in the steady state for a constant viscosity and thermal conductivity. It was observed that velocity profile increases as pressure, electro-osmotic and specific internal energy parameters increases and decreases as viscosity, magnetic and electro-kinetic parameters increases.
