Abstract:

The main purpose of this work is to investigate the porous medium and diffusion-thermo effects on unsteady combined convection magneto hydrodynamics boundary layer flow of viscous electrically conducting fluid over a vertical permeable surface embedded in a high porous medium, in the presence of first order chemical reaction and thermal radiation. The slip boundary condition is applied at the porous interface. A uniform Magnetic field is applied normal to the direction of the fluid flow. The non-linear coupled partial differential equation are solved by perturbation method and obtained the expressions for concentration, temperature and velocity fields. The rate of mass transfer in terms of Sherwood number  , the rate of heat transfer in terms of Nusselt number   and the Skin friction coefficient  are also derived. The Profiles of fluid flow quantities for various values of physical parameters are presented and analyzed. Profiles of fluid flow quantities for various values of physical parameters are presented and analyzed.

Chemical Reaction Effects on Unsteady Mhd Free Convective Flow past an Exponentially Accelerated Vertical Porous Plate

An analytical study is performed to investigate the effects of chemical reaction and radiation on unsteady MHD flow past an exponentially accelerated vertical plate with variable temperature and variable mass diffusion in the presence of applied transverse magnetic field. It is assumed that the effect of viscous dissipation is negligible in the energy equation and there is a first order chemica...

Radiation effects on MHD free convective boundary layer flow of nanofluids over a nonlinear stretching sheet

The present study focuses on the numerical solution of a steady free convective boundary-layer flow of a radiating nanofluid along a non-linear stretching sheet in the presence of transverse magnetic field. The model used for the nanofluid incorporates the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis. The governing boundary-layer equations of the problem are formulated and transformed into a n...
