ABSTRACT = {The effect of variable transverse magnetic field on steady two-dimensional indirect natural convection flow of an incompressible viscous fluid over a 
horizontal hot flat plate is theoretically studied. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary ones by similarity 
transformation and solved numerically using fourth order Runge-Kutta method with shooting technique. The results are obtained for the skin friction 
coefficient and the local Nusselt number as well as the dimensionless velocities, temperature for some values of the magnetic parameter (M) subject to 
either prescribed (constant or variable) surface temperature or prescribed (variable) heat flux. It is seen that the skin friction coefficient decreases with 
increase in M for all the cases.},
