Abstract The thermal diffusion and viscous dissipation effects on an unsteady MHD free convection heat and mass transfer flow of an incompressible, electrically conducting, fluid past an infinite vertical porous plate embedded in a porous medium of time dependent permeability under oscillatory suction velocity in the presence of a heat absorbing sink have been studied. It is considered that the influence of a uniform magnetic field acts normal to the flow and the permeability of the porous medium fluctuates with time. The dimensionless governing equations for this investigation have been solved numerically by using the efficient Galerkin finite element method. The numerical results obtained have been presented through graphs and tables for the thermal Grashof number (Gr > 0) corresponding to the cooling of the porous plate and (Gr < 0) corresponding to heating of the porous plate to observe the effects of various material parameters encountered in the problem under investigation. Numerical data for skin-friction, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are tabulated and then discussed.

Effects Of Radiation

Radiation effect on unsteady free convection flow of an electrically conducting, gray gas near equilibrium in the optically thin limit along an infinite vertical porous plate are investigated in the presence of strong transverse magnetic field imposed perpendicularly to the plate, taking Hall currents into account. A similarly parameter length scale (h), as a function of time and the suction velocity are considered to be inversely proportional to this parameter. Similarity equations are then derived and solved numerically using the shooting method. The numerical values of skin friction and the rate of heat transfer are represented in a table. The effects of radiation parameter, Hall parameter, and magnetic field parameters are discussed and shown graphically.

Transfer Flow

The Dufour and Soret effects on unsteady MHD free convection and mass transfer flow past an infinite vertical porous plate embedded in a porous medium have been studied numerically. The non-linear partial differential equations, governing the problem under consideration, have been transformed by a similarity transformation into a system of ordinary differential equations, which is solved numerically by applying Nachtsheim-Swigert shooting iteration technique together with sixth order Runge-Kutta integration scheme. The effects of various parameters entering into the problem have been examined on the flow field for a hydrogen-air mixture as a non-chemical reacting fluid pair. Finally, the numerical values of local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number are also presented in tabular form.
