This paper presents an incompressible two-dimensional heat and mass transfer of an electrically conducting micropolar fluid flow in a porous medium between two parallel plates with chemical reaction, Hall and ion slip effects. Let there be periodic injection or suction at the lower and upper plates and the nonuniform temperature and concentration at the plates are varying periodically with time. The flow field equations are reduced to nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations and then solved numerically by quasilinearization technique. The profiles of velocity components, microrotation, temperature distribution and concentration are studied for different values of fluid and geometric parameters such as Hartmann number, Hall and ion slip parameters, inverse Darcy parameter, Prandtl number, Schmidt number, and chemical reaction rate and shown in the form of graphs.

The Soret and Dufour effects in the presence of chemical reaction on natural convection heat and mass transfer of a couple stress fluid in a vertical channel formed by two vertical parallel plates is presented. The governing non-linear partial differential equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. The resulting equations are then solved using Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM). Profiles of dimensionless velocity, temperature and concentration are shown graphically for various values of Dufour number, Soret number, Couple stress parameter and chemical reaction parameter.

This paper deals with nanofluid flow between parallel plates and heat transfer through porous media with heat source /sink. The governing equations are transformed into self-similar ordinary differential equations by adopting similarity transformations and then the converted equations are solved numerically by Runge-Kutta fourth order method. Special emphasis has been given to the parameters of physical interest which include Prandtl number, magnetic parameter, porous matrix, chemical reaction parameter and heat source parameter. The results obtained for velocity, temperature and concentration are shown in graphs. The comparison of the special case of this present results with the existing numerical solutions in the literature shows excellent agreement.

Abstract In this paper, the influence of chemical reaction and heat source/sink on an unsteady magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) nanofluid flow that squeezed between two radiating parallel plates embedded in porous media is investigated analytically. We consider water as base fluid and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) as its nanoparticle. We reduced the basic partial differential equations to ordinary differential equations which are solved by the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The effects of the squeeze number, permeability parameter of porous media, Hartmann number, thermal radiation parameter, Prandtl number, heat source/sink parameter, Eckert number, Schmidt number, and scaled parameter of chemical reaction on the flow, heat, and mass transfer are considered and assigned to graphs. The physical quantities such as Sherwood number, Nusselt number, and skin friction coefficient are computed for Al2O3–water, TiO2–water, Ag–water, and Cu–water nanofluids and assigned through graphs.

The time-dependent mixed bioconvection flow of an electrically conducting fluid between two infinite parallel plates in the presence of a magnetic field and a first-order chemical reaction is investigated. The fully coupled nonlinear systems describing the total mass, momentum, thermal energy, mass diffusion, and microorganisms equations are reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations via a set of new similarity transformations. The detailed analysis illustrating the influences of various physical parameters such as the magnetic, squeezing, and chemical reaction parameters and the Schmidt and Prandtl numbers on the distributions of temperature and microorganisms as well as the skin friction and the Nusselt number is presented. The conclusion is drawn that the flow field, temperature, and chemical reaction profiles are significantly influenced by magnetic parameter, heat generation/absorption parameter, and chemical parameter. Some examples of potential applications of such bioconvection could be found in pharmaceutical industry, microfluidic devices, microbial enhanced oil recovery, modeling oil, and gas-bearing sedimentary basins.

Abstract This study investigates the unsteady MHD flow of a fourth-grade fluid in a horizontal parallel plates channel. The upper plate is oscillating and moving while the bottom plate is stationary. Solutions for momentum, energy and concentration equations are obtained by the He-Laplace scheme. This method was also used by Idowu and Sani [12] and there is agreement with our results. The effect of various flow parameters controlling the physical situation is discussed with the aid of graphs. Significant results from this study show that velocity and temperature fields increase with the increase in the thermal radiation parameter, while velocity and concentric fields decrease with an increase in the chemical reaction parameter. Furthermore, velocity, temperature and concentric fields decrease with an increase in the suction parameter. It is also interesting to note that when S4 = 0, our results will be in complete agreement with Idowu and Sani [12] results. The results of this work are applicable to industrial processes such as polymer extrusion of dye, draining of plastic films etc.
