Abstract
A new, accurate and general formula for evaluating the skin friction parameter in a Magneto-Hydrodynamics (MHD) Falkner–Skan flow over a permeable wall was obtained. The formula gives the value of the skin friction of the problem in an infinite interval for all various values of the parameters involved. Shooting method via Runge–Kutta method for solving two-point boundary value problem in a truncated interval is used to compare the results obtained. It was observed that the percentage difference between the two sets of results is very small.
