MHD mixed convection flow over an inclined plane with viscous dissipation and ohmic effects have been analyzed in this paper. Nearly an approximate solution for the velocity, temperature and skin friction are obtained by using perturbation method. The analytical results are examined more in detail with respect to the participating parameters that arises out of the situation. It is observed that, as Grashoff number decreases, the velocity of the fluid medium decreases. In addition to the above, it is also seen that Schmidt number also contributes to the decrease in fluid velocity. Further, it is seen that both parameters Schmidt number and Grashoff number has a significant role in the decrease of fluid velocity and for back flow. Also, it is noticed that the increase in the Prandtl number contributes to the increase in the velocity field. Even when the Schmidt number is decreasing the trend continues to the same. Further, it is seen that as Schmidt number decreases, even though the nature of the velocity profiles remains same, the parabolic nature seems to have been lost. For the case of relatively very small values of Prandtl number, it is noted that the velocity profiles are found to be perfectly linear and having negative slope. It is noticed that, the effect of velocity is not that significant when the magnetic intensity remains constant. However, as the magnetic intensity increases for a constant value or Prandtl number, not a significant change is observed.
