The present study reveals the heat and mass transfer on the MHD flow of micropolar fluid in a porous medium within a rotating frame. In order to facilitate osillatory plate velocity with constant suction and first order chemical reaction has been considered. Using small perturbation approximation, the governing non-dimensional equations are solved. The influence of pertinent physical quantities on the flow phenomena have been presented graphically. The skin friction coefficient, wall couple stress, Nusselt and Sherwood number have also computed for different flow parameters and have presented in table. In the study, the applied magnetic field sets in to produce the resistive force i.e. the Lorentz force that resists the fluid motion throughout the domain. Attenuation in the Prandtl number is because of the slower thermal diffusivity resulted in a sharp reduction in the thermal boundary layer thickness. The retardation in the polar fluid concentration is greater in amount for the influence of heavier species.

The present paper is concerned to analyze the effect of hall current on heat and thermal radiation and mass transfer of unsteady MHD flow of a viscoelastic micropolar fluid through a porous medium with chemical reaction. The governing partial differential equations are transformed to dimensionless equations using dimensionless variables. The dimensionless governing equations are then solved analytically using perturbation technique. The effects of various governing parameters on the velocity, temperature, concentration, skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are shown in figures and tables and analyzed in detail.

In this work, the effects of a temperature-dependent heat source on the hydromagnetic free-convective flow (set up due to temperature as well as species concentration) of an electrically conducting micropolar fluid past a steady vertical porous plate through a highly porous medium has been analyzed when the free stream oscillates in magnitude. A uniform magnetic field acts perpendicularly to the porous surface, which absorbs the micropolar fluid with constant suction velocity. The method of solution can be applied for a small perturbation approximation. The numerical results of velocity and temperature distributions of micropolar fluids are compared with the corresponding flow problems for a Newtonian fluid. The effects of the material parameters on velocity, angular momentum, concentration, and temperature fields across the boundary layer are investigated. In addition, the skin-friction coefficient and Nusselt number are shown in tabular form.PACS Nos.: 44.05.+e, 44.30.+v, 47.11.+j, 47.27.Te, 47.55.Mh, 47.65.+a, 47.50.+d

This paper investigates the influence of both viscous and joules dissipation on the problem of magnetohydrodynamic flow past a stretching porous surface embedded in a porous medium. Analytic solutions of the resulting nonlinear non-homogeneous boundary value problem in the case when the plate stretches with a velocity varying linearly with distance, expressed in terms of confluent hypergeometric functions, are presented for the case of prescribed surface temperature. Numerical calculations have been carried out for various values of suction parameter, magnetic field, Prandtl number, Eckert number and Schmidt number. The results show that increases in magnetic parameter decrease both the dimensionless transverse velocity, longitudinal velocity and also the skin friction coefficient. Also, formation of thin boundary layer is observed for higher value of magnetic parameter.

We have studied the effects of radiation on the boundary layer flow and heat transfer of an electrically conducting micropolar fluid over a continuously moving stretching surface embedded in a non-Darcian porous medium with a uniform magnetic field. The transformed coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations are solved numerically. The velocity, the angular velocity, and the temperature are shown graphically. The numerical values of the skin friction coefficient, the wall couple stress, and the wall heat transfer rate are computed and discussed for various values of parameters.

This paper aims to study the influence of thermal radiation on unsteady magnetohyrdodynamic (MHD) natural convection flow of an optically thick fluid over a vertical plate embedded in a porous medium with arbitrary shear stress. Combined phenomenon of heat and mass transfer is considered. Closed-form solutions in general form are obtained by using the Laplace transform technique. They are expressed in terms of exponential and complementary error functions. Velocity is expressed as a sum of thermal and mechanical parts. Corresponding limiting solutions are also reduced from the general solutions. It is found that the obtained solutions satisfy all imposed initial and boundary conditions and reduce to some known solutions from the literature as special cases. Analytical results for the pertinent flow parameters are drawn graphically and discussed in detail. It is found that the velocity profiles of fluid decrease with increasing shear stress. The magnetic parameter develops shear resistance which reduces the fluid motion whereas the inverse permeability parameter increases the fluid flow.

This work considers steady, laminar, MHD flow of a micropolar fluid past a stretched semi-infinite, vertical and permeable surface in the presence of temperature dependent heat generation or absorption, magnetic field and thermal radiation effects. A set of similarity parameters is employed to convert the governing partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. The obtained self-similar equations are solved numerically by an efficient implicit, iterative, finite-difference method. The obtained results are checked against previously published work for special cases of the problem in order to access the accuarcy of the numerical method and found to be in excellent agreement. A parametric study illustrating the influence of the various physical parameters on the skin friction coefficient, microrotaion coefficient or wall couple stress as well as the wall heat transfer coefficient or Nusselt number is conducted. The obtained results are presented graphically and in tabular form and the physical aspects of the problem are discussed.

This study presents a mathematical analysis of a hydromagnetic boundary layer flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics on steady twodimensional flow of a micropolar fluid over a stretching sheet embedded in a non-Darcian porous medium with uniform magnetic field in the presence of thermal radiation. The governing system of partial differential equations is first transformed into a system of non- linear ordinary differential equation using the usual similarity transformation. The resulting coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations are then solved using perturbation technique. With the help of graphs, the effects of the various important parameters entering into the problem on the velocity, temperature and concentration fields within the boundary layer are separately discussed. The effects of the pertinent parameters on the wall temperature, wall solutal concentration, skin friction coefficient and the rate of heat and mass transfer are presented numerically in tabular form. The results obtained showed that these parameters have significant influence on the flow.
