In the present document we inspect the deportation study of heat and mass transfer flow of a viscous electrically conducting fluid in a vertical wavy channel under the influence of an inclined magnetic fluid with heat generating sources. The walls of the channels are perpetuated at constant temperature and concentration. The equations reign over the flow heat and concentration are solved by employing perturbation technique with a slope d of the wavy wall. The velocity, temperature and concentration distributions are investigated for a different value of Grashof number Hartmann number, Buoyancy ratio etc. The rate of heat and mass transfer are numerically estimated for a different variation of the governing parameters. It is found that higher the Lorentz force lesser the axial velocity in the flow region. An increase in the Hall parameter (m) enhances the axial velocity.

The properties of the final product greatly depend on the cooling rate from the material surface in many manufacturing processes, such as stretching sheets or filaments that are extruded continuously from a die. Therefore, the thermal transport behavior may play an important role in such manufacturing processes. In this paper we present an analysis of momentum and thermal transport for the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an electrically conducting fluid over a stretching sheet with prescribed surface temperature. The effects of free convection, Joule heating and viscous dissipation are taken into consideration. The transformed governing equations are solved numerically for this non-similar coupled flow problem. To reveal the tendency of the solutions, typical results for velocity profiles, temperature distributions and the local Nusselt number are presented for different values of governing parameters.

ABSTRACTIn this study, an analysis has been performed for heat and mass transfer of a steady laminar boundarylayer flow of an electrically conducting fluid with radiation effect of second grade subject to suction and to a transverse uniform magnetic field past a stretching sheet. Parameters Gr, Gc, Nr, M, Sc represent the dominance of the buoyant effect, radiative effect, magnetic effect and mass transfer effect which have presented in governing equations, respectively. The similar transformation and the finite-difference method have been used to analyze the present problem.
