The present work is concerned with the unsteady flow of an incompressible, viscous, conducting micropolar fluid, through a porous medium, over an infinite plate that is started into motion in its own plane by an impulse. A uniform magnetic field acts in a direction perpendicular to the plate. The governing equations are solved using a state space approach and the inversion of the Laplace transform is carried out, using a numerical approach. The technique is applied to a heated-plate problem and to a problem pertaining to a plate under uniform heating. Numerical results concerning temperature (for both problems), velocity, and microrotation are given and are illustrated graphically. PACS Nos.: 47.00, 65.00, 47.50, 76.00

A one-dimensional model of the two-temperature generalized magneto-viscoelasticity with two relaxation times in a perfect conducting medium is established. The state space approach is adopted for the solution of one-dimensional problems for any set of boundary conditions. The resulting formulation together with the Laplace transform techniques are applied to a specific problem of a half-space subjected to thermal shock and traction-free surface. The inversion of the Laplace transforms is carried out using a numerical approach. Numerical results are given and illustrated graphically for the problem. Some comparisons have been shown in figures to estimate the effects of the temperature discrepancy and the applied magnetic field.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study chemical reaction and heat and mass transfer effects on steady free convection flow in an inclined porous plate in the presence of MHD and viscous dissipation through the application of scaling group of transformation and numerical method. Design/methodology/approach – The fourth-order Runge-Kutta along with the shooting method is employed in the numerical solution of the governing equations. Findings – The magnetic field parameter, the permeability of porous medium and the viscous dissipation are demonstrated to exert a more significant effect on the flow field and, thus, on the heat transfer from the plate to the fluid. Originality/value – The problem is relatively original.

In this paper the viscous dissipation and Dufour effects on Unsteady MHD free convective flow through a semi-infinite Oscillatory porous inclined plate of time dependent permeability with Chemical reaction and Hall and Ion-Slip Current in a Rotating System was investigated. The dimensionless governing equations for this investigation are solved analytically by using multiple regular perturbation law. The effects of different parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration fields are shown graphically.

In this paper, the problem of forced convection flow of micropolar fluid of lighter density impinging orthogonally on another heavier density of micropolar fluid on a stretching surface is investigated. The boundary layer governing equations are transformed from partial differential equations into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformation and solved numerically using dsolve function in Maple software version 2016. The velocity, microrotation and temperature of micropolar fluid are analyzed. It is found that both upper fluid and lower fluid display opposite behaviour when micropolar parameter K various with strong concentration n = 0, Pr = 7 and stretching parameter lambda = 0.5. The results also show that stretching surface exert the force that increasing the velocity of micropolar fluid.

In this paper, we consider the unsteady free-convection flows of a viscous and incompressible fluid near an oscillating porous infinite vertical plate (or wall) during the heating of the plate. The governing equations are solved in closed form by the Laplace transform technique, when the Prandtl number (Pr) of the fluid is arbitrary and the suction (or injection) is constant. This solution is applied for a special case of the constant heating effects from the harmonically oscillating plate. The resulting velocity and temperature are shown graphically and are also discussed for the case of air (Pr=0.71) or water (Pr=7.0) flows.

Abstract In this paper, a numerical solution of mass transfer effects on an unsteady free convection flow of an incompressible electrically conducting viscous dissipative fluid past an infinite vertical porous plate under the influence of a uniform magnetic field considered normal to the plate has been obtained. The non-dimensional governing equations for this investigation are solved numerically by using the Ritz finite element method. The effects of flow parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration fields are presented through the graphs and numerical data for the skin-friction, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are presented in tables and then discussed.
