We analyze the steady magnetohydrodynamic flow of an incompressible electrically conducting visco-elastic fluid through a porous medium between two porous parallel plates under the influence of a transverse magnetic field. We obtain an exact solution for the Brinkman–Forchheimer extension of Darcy's momentum equation for flow. We solve the equations of motion with a perturbation technique under the assumption that the Forchheimer number Fs = bν/u0 is small. We analyze heat and mass transfer in porous media. We obtain the skin friction τw, the Nusselt number Nu, and the Sherwood number Sh. Our numerical results show the effects of the physical parameters of our problem on the fluid flow as well as on the heat and mass transfer, on the skin friction, and on the rates of heat and mass transfer.

Mass And Heat Transfer

In this paper, the problem of heat and mass transfer due to the steady motion of a Rivlin- Ericksen fluid in tubes of varying cross-section is considered. Suction at tube walls is taken into account. Under the assumption that the deformations of the boundaries are small, the equations of motion have been solved by using a perturbation technique. The temperature and concentration distributions are obtained. The effects of various physical parameters are discussed. The Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are obtained. A set of figures for a quantitative illustration is presented.

An analysis is carried out to study the effect of heat and mass transfer on a non-Newtonian-fluid between two infinite parallel walls, one of them moving with a uniform velocity under the action of a transverse magnetic field. The moving wall moves with constant velocity in the direction of fluid flow while the free stream velocity is assumed to follow the exponentially increasing small perturbation law. Time-dependent wall suction is assumed to occur at permeable surface. The governing equations for the flow are transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by perturbation technique and are solved numerically by using the shooting technique with fourth order Runge-Kutta integration scheme. The effect of non-Newtonian parameter, magnetic pressure parameter, Schmidt number, Grashof number and modified Grashof number on velocity, temperature, concentration and the induced magnetic field are discussed. Numerical results are given and illustrated graphically for the considered Problem.

In this paper, we investigate the influence of melting on mixed convection heat and mass transfer from vertical flat plate in a non-Newtonian fluid-saturated non-Darcy porous medium including the prominent Soret effect. The wall and the ambient medium are maintained at constant but different levels of temperature and concentration such that the heat and mass transfer occurs from the wall to the medium. The Ostwald–de Waele power law model is used to characterize the non-Newtonian fluid behavior. A similarity solution for the transformed governing equations is obtained. The numerical computation is carried out for various values of the nondimensional physical parameters. The variation of temperature, concentration, and heat and mass transfer coefficients with the power law index, mixed convection parameter, inertia parameter, melting parameter, Soret number, buoyancy ratio, and Lewis number is discussed for a wide range of values of these parameters.

A theoretical study is carried out to obtain an analytic solution of heat and mass transfer in a vertical porous channel with rotation and Hall current. A constant suction and injection is applied to the two insulating porous plates. A strong magnetic field is applied in the transverse direction. The entire system rotates with uniform angular velocity Ω about the axis normal to the plates. The governing equations are solved by perturbation technique to obtain the analytical results for velocity, temperature, and concentration fields and shear stresses. The steady and unsteady resultant velocities along with the phase differences for various values of physical parameters are discussed in detail. The effects of rotation, buoyancy force, magnetic field, thermal radiation, and heat generation parameters on resultant velocity, temperature, and concentration fields are analyzed.

We analyze analytically the effects of anisotropy in permeability and that of a transverse magnetic field on thermal convection in a porous medium saturated with a binary fluid and confined in a horizontal cavity. The porous medium, of great extension, is subjected to various conditions at the thermal and solutal boundaries. The axes of the permeability tensor are oriented obliquely with respect to the gravitational field. Based on a scale analysis, the velocity, temperature, and heat and mass transfer rate fields were determined. These results were validated by the study of borderline cases which are: pure porous media and pure fluid media discussed in the literature. It emerges from this study that the anisotropy parameters influence the convective flow. The application of a transverse magnetic field significantly reduces the speed of the flow and thereby affects the temperature field and the rate of heat and mass transfer.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present an analytical study for a problem of unsteady free convection boundary layer flow past a periodically accelerated vertical plate with Newtonian heating (NH). Design/methodology/approach The equations governing the flow are studied in the closed form by using the Laplace transform technique. The effects of various physical parameters are studied through graphs and the expressions for skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are also derived and discussed numerically. Findings It is observed that velocity, concentration and skin friction decrease with the increasing values of Sc whereas temperature distribution decreases in the increase in Pr in the presence of NH. Research limitations/implications This study is limited to a Newtonian fluid. This can be extended for non-Newtonian fluids. Practical implications Heat and mass transfer frequently occurs in chemically processed industries, distribution of temperature and moisture over agricultural fields, dispersion of fog and environment pollution and polymer production. Social implications Free convection flow of coupled heat and mass transfer occurs due to the temperature and concentration differences in the fluid as a result of driving forces. For example, in atmospheric flows, thermal convection resulting from heating of the earth by sunlight is affected differences in water vapor concentration. Originality/value The authors have studied heat and mass transfer effects on unsteady free convection boundary layer flow past a periodically accelerated vertical surface with NH, where the heat transfer rate from the bounding surface with a finite heat capacity is proportional to the local surface temperature, and which is usually termed as conjugate convective flow. The equations governing the flow are studied in the closed form by using the Laplace transform technique. The effects of various physical parameters are studied through graphs and the expression for skin friction also derived and discussed.

AbstractSimultaneous effects of thermal and concentration diffusions in unsteady magnetohydrodynamic free convection flow past a moving plate maintained at constant heat flux and embedded in a viscous fluid saturated porous medium is presented. The transport model employed includes the effects of thermal radiation, heat sink, Soret and chemical reaction. The fluid is considered as a gray absorbing-emitting but non-scattering medium and the Rosseland approximation in the energy equations is used to describe the radiative heat flux for optically thick fluid. The dimensionless coupled linear partial differential equations are solved by using Laplace transform technique. Numerical results for the velocity, temperature, concentration as well as the skin friction coefficient and the rates of heat and mass transfer are shown graphically for different values of physical parameters involved.
