AbstractAn investigation of unsteady MHD double diffusive natural convection flow of a viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting, heat absorbing, radiating and chemically-reactive fluid past an exponentially accelerated moving inclined plate in a fluid-saturated porous medium, when the temperature of the plate and the concentration at the surface of the plate have ramped profiles, is carried out. Exact solutions for the fluid velocity, fluid temperature and the species concentration, under Boussinesq approximation, are obtained in closed form by the Laplace transform technique. The expressions for the shear stress, rate of heat transfer and the rate of mass transfer at the plate are also derived. Numerical evaluations of the fluid velocity, fluid temperature and the species concentration are performed and displayed graphically whereas those of the shear stress, rate of heat transfer and the rate of mass transfer at the plate are presented in tabular form for various values of the pertinent flow parameters.

The free-convection flow along a vertical plate oscillating in its own plane is given analytical treatment. The basic equations of boundary-layer flow and heat transfer are linearized and the first three approximations are considered. The first approximation, being the case of steady-state free convection, is the classical problem of Schmidt and Beckman extended by Ostrach. The second approximation is the frequency response of the fluid temperature and velocity for which limiting solutions are obtained in two regions; namely, the regions of small and large ω* = ωδ2/ν where ω is the circular frequency, δ the steady-state velocity boundary-layer thickness, and ν the fluid kinematic viscosity. The approximate range of validity of the asymptotic solution is estimated in terms of parameter ω0* which is a function only of Prandtl number. Part of the third approximation is time independent and gives rise to a net change in the steady values of the wall heat flux and shear stress. It is found that within the domain of laminar flow this net change is a decrease for the rate of heat transfer and an increase for the shear stress both evaluated for large values of ω0*. Heat-transfer measurements are made for a vertical cylinder in air. It is found that in the laminar regime the average coefficient of heat transfer experiences a slight decrease relative to its measured steady state value. For higher values of oscillatory velocity amplitude the average coefficient of heat transfer undergoes an increase over its measured steady-state value. This reversal in the behavior of average coefficient of heat transfer appears to be due to flow transition which is confirmed by smoke studies along a vertical cylinder.

The effect of thermal radiation on steady fully developed natural convection flow in a vertical micro-channel is presented in this article. Effects of velocity slip and temperature jump conditions are taken into account due to their counter effects on both the volume flow rate and the rate of heat transfer. Due to the presence of thermal radiation, the momentum and energy equations are coupled system of ordinary differential equations. Governing coupled nonlinear equations are solved analytically by employing the perturbation analysis method to obtain an expression for fluid temperature, fluid velocity, rate of heat transfer and skin friction on the microchannel walls. The effect of various parameters controlling the physical situation such as thermal radiation, temperature difference, Knudsen number, and fluid wall interaction are discussed with the aid of line graphs and Tables. Results indicate that both velocity and temperature enhanced with the increase of the thermal radiation parameter. Keywords: Thermal radiation, Natural convection, Micro-channel, Velocity slip, Temperature jump

The dynamics of the 3-dimensional flow of magnetized Carreau fluid past a paraboloid surface of revolution is studied through thermal radiation and mass transfer analysis. The impacts of Brownian motion and chemical reaction rate are considered on the flow dynamics. The system of nonlinear PDEs are converted to coupled ODEs by employing suitable transformation relations. The developed ODEs are solved by applying the standard procedure of homotopy analysis method (HAM). The impacts of various interesting parameters on the state variables of the Carreau fluid (velocity components, temperature, concentration, and shear stress) are explained through various graphs and tables. It is found that the horizontal velocity components augment with the rising magnetic parameter and Grashof number values. The fluid temperature augments with the higher values of the pertinent parameters except Prandtl number. The Nusselet number and fluid concentration enhance with the augmenting Brownian motion parameter. The shear stress augments with the rising Grashof number. The agreement of the obtained and published results validate the accuracy of the employed technique.

The main aim of this investigation is to study thermo diffusion, heat source/sink, Joule and chemical effects on heat transfer in MHD mixed convection flow and mass transfer past an infinite vertical plate with ohmic heating and viscous dissipation have been studied. We consider the mixed convection flow of an incompressible and electrically conducting viscous fluid such that x* -axis is taken along the plate in upward direction and y* -axis is normal to it. A transverse constant magnetic field is applied i.e., in the direction of y*-axis. Approximate solutions have been derived for velocity, temperature, concentration profiles, skin friction, rate of heat transfer and rate of mass transfer using perturbation technique. The obtained results are discussed with the help of graphs to observe the effect of various parameters like Grashof number (Gr), the modified Grashof number (Gm), magnetic parameter (M), Permeability parameter(K), Prandtl number (Pr), Heat Sink(Q), Radiation Parameter (F), Soret parameter (S0), Eckert number (E),Schmidt number(Sc) and Chemical reaction parameter(K0) taking two cases viz. Fluid velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are comparison with Pr=0.71(Air) and Pr =7 (Water) various parameters in cooled and heated plates. Case I: when Gr > 0 (flow on cooled plate), and Case II: Gr < 0, (flow on heated plate). Both the fluid velocity and concentration rising with the increment values of Soret parameter in the fluids Air and Water and also discussed skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number in the fluid’s mercury, electrolytic solution, air and water. The novelty of this study is the consideration of simultaneous occurrence of radiation, heat absorption as well as thermo- diffusion in the magnetic field. It varies in several aspects such as non-dimensional parameters, analytical solutions, and graphical solutions, the analytic solution using the Perturbation technique, and numerical solution using Matlab software for the profile.

A mathematical model of the magnetohydrodynamic free convective flow of a viscous incompressible fluid, which is based on a system of coupled steady-state nonlinear deferential equations, is discussed. A new approach of the homotopy perturbation method is employed to derive analytical expressions of the fluid velocity, fluid temperature, and species concentration. The effciency and accuracy of the derived results are tested against highly accurate and widely used numerical methods. The obtained analytical expressions are employed to study the effects of the magnetic field, chemical reaction, and other relevant flow parameters on fluid velocity, fluid temperature, and species concentration. Sensitivity analysis of these parameters is also presented.
