In this article, the effects of viscous dissipation and internal heat generation/absorption on combined heat and mass transfer MHD viscous fluid flow over a moving wedge in the presence of mass suction/injection with the convective boundary condition are carried out numerically for the various values of dimensionless parameters. With the help of similarity transformation, the momentum, energy, and concentration equations are reduced to a set of dimensionless non-linear ordinary differential equations. The significance of the dimensionless velocity, temperature, mass profiles, and their gradients are presented in graphical form. Three types of flows-particularly the flat plate, vertical wedge, and stagnation point flows-in favorable and unfavorable regimes are analyzed. The obtained results confirm that the flow field is substantially influenced by the magnetic, stretching/shrinking, pressure, Prandtl number, heat generation/dissipation, and mass suction/injection parameters. Current results indicate that stretching a wall boundary causes an increase in velocity, temperature, shear stress, temperature, and mass gradients while shrinking causes a decreasing trend with these profiles. The special modified form of the current problem is found to be in good agreement with the other published data. (C) 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
