Abstract An exact analysis of heat transfer accompanied by mass transfer flow of a Casson fluid past an exponentially accelerated infinite vertical plate with Newtonian heating in the presence of radiation is presented here. The governing coupled linear partial differential equations are transformed into linear ordinary differential equations by using non-dimensional variables. The resulting eq...

The steady boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a nanofluid past a nonlinearly permeable stretching/shrinking sheet is numerically studied. The governing partial differential equations are reduced into a system of ordinary differential equations using a similarity transformation, which are then solved numerically using a shooting method. The local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood numbe...

The heat and mass transfer analysis for MHD Casson fluid boundary layer flow over a permeable stretching sheet through a porous medium is carried out. The effect of non-uniform heat generation/absorption and chemical reaction are considered in heat and mass transport equations correspondingly. The heat transfer analysis has been carried out for two different heating processes namely; the prescr...

Effects of some thermo-physical parameters on free convective heat and mass transfer over a vertical stretching surface at lowest level of heat energy in the presence of suction is investigated. The viscosity of the fluid is assumed to vary as a linear function of temperature and thermal conductivity is assumed constant. A similarity transformation is applied to reduce the governing equations i...

The objective of this paper is to study thermal conductivity and magnetic field intensity effects on heat and mass transfer flow over a vertical channel both numerically and analytically. The non-linear partial differential equations governing the flow are non-dimensionalised, simplified and solved using Crank Nicolson type of implicit finite difference method. To check the accuracy of the nume...

An exact solution of the unsteady free convection boundary-layer flow of an incompressible fluid past an inclined oscillating plate with the flow generated by Newtonian heating in the presence of radiation is presented here. The resulting coupled linear partial differential equations for the velocity, the temperature and the concentration are non-dimensionalized and their solutions have been ob...

Radiation absorption and chemical reaction effects on unsteady MHD free convective flow of a visco-elastic fluid past a vertical porous plate in the presence of variable suction and heat source is considered. A uniform magnetic field is assumed to be applied in the transverse direction of the flow. The set of non-linear partial differential equations is transformed into a set of ordinary differ...

The effect of variable thermal conductivity and thermal radiation on heat and mass transfer in the MHD flow of a Casson fluid over a porous stretching sheet is investigated. The governing non-linear partial differential equations for the flow, heat and mass transfer are solved by employing the Runge-Kutta fourth order method along with shooting technique. The velocity, temperature and concentra...

The present paper aims at investigating the steady two-dimensional MHD convective boundary layer flow of a Casson fluid over a permeable stretching surface in the presence of thermal radiation and chemical reaction. The stretching velocity, wall temperature and wall concentration are assumed to vary according to specific exponential form. Velocity slip, thermal slip, solutal slip, thermal radia...
