The two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a Jeffrey fluid is investigated in this paper. The characteristics of heat and mass transfer with chemical reaction have also been analyzed. Convective boundary conditions have been invoked for the thermal boundary layer problem. Exact similarity solutions for flow, temperature, and concentration are derived. Interpretation to the embedded parameters is assigned through graphical results for dimensionless velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction coefficient, and surface heat and mass transfer. The results indicate an increase in the velocity and the boundary layer thickness by increasing the rheological parameter of the Jeffrey fluid. An intensification in the chemical reaction leads to a thinner concentration boundary layer.

We investigate the effects of thermal radiation and convective boundary conditions on heat and mass transfer in nanofluid flow over a permeable flat plate. The mathematical model for the nanofluid incorporates variations in the nanoparticle volume fraction of up to 20%. The performance of two water-based nanofluids, namely, stable suspensions of copper and gold nanoparticles in water was investigated. The governing partial differential equations were transformed into ordinary ones using a similarity transformation and solved numerically. The numerical results were validated by comparison with previously published results in the literature. The main focus of this paper is to study the fluid and surface parameters such as the radiation parameter, and suction/injection parameter, solute concentration profiles, as well as the skin friction coefficient and heat and mass transfer rates were conducted.

The dendritic form is one of the most common forms of crystals growing from supercooled melts and supersaturated solutions. In recent decades, an analytical theory has been developed that describes a stable dendrite growth mode under the conditions of a conductive heat and mass transfer process. However, in experiments, the growth of dendritic crystals is often observed under the conditions of convective fluid flow. In the present work, the theory of the growth of dendritic crystals is developed taking into account the convective mechanism of heat and mass transfer at the crystal-melt interface. A stable mode of dendritic growth in the case of intense convective flows near the steady-state growing dendritic tip is analyzed. The selection theory determining a stable growth mode in the vicinity of parabolic solutions as well as the undercooling balance condition are used to find the dendrite tip velocity and its tip diameter as functions of the melt undercooling. It is shown that the theoretical predictions in the case of convective boundary conditions are in agreement with experimental data for small undercoolings. In addition, the convective and conductive heat and mass transfer mechanisms near the growing dendritic surfaces are compared. Our calculations show that the convective boundary conditions essentially influence the stable mode of dendritic growth.

This paper examines a model for coupled heat and mass transfer for freezing in a porous matrix with Dirichlet and convective boundary conditions. Variables include porosity, heat transfer coefficients, thermal and mass diffusivity, density, latent heat and boundary temperatures. It is shown that heat and mass transfer balance at the interface can affect stability. The effect of boundary conditions on the velocity of freezing is computed for some cases, and applications to physical problems highlighted
