Unsteady MHD Radiative and Chemically Reactive Free Convection Flow near a Moving Vertical Plate in Porous Medium
We have investigated an unsteady flow of a viscous, incompressible electrically conducting, laminar free convection boundary layer flow of a moving infinite vertical plate in a radiative and chemically reactive medium in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. The equations governing the flow...

| description | We have investigated an unsteady flow of a viscous, incompressible electrically conducting, laminar free convection
boundary layer flow of a moving infinite vertical plate in a radiative and chemically reactive medium in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. The equations governing the flow are solved by Laplace transform technique. The expressions for velocity, temperature, concentration are derived and based on these quantities the expressions for skin friction; rate of heat transfer and the rate mass transfer near the plate are derived. The effects of various physical parameters on flow quantities, wise magnetic parameter, Grashof number, modified Grashof number, heat source parameter, the chemical reaction parameter, Schmidt number and radiation parameter are studied numerically and the results are discussed with the help of graphs. Some important applications of physical interest for different type motion of the plate like case (i) when the plate is moving with uniform velocity, case (ii) when the plate is moving with single acceleration and case (iii) when the plate is moving with periodic acceleration, are discussed. |
