An exact solution to the problem of flow past an exponentially accelerated infinite vertical plate with variable temperature is analyzed. The temperature of the plate is raised linearly with time t. The dimensionless governing equations are solved using Laplace-transform technique. The velocity and temperature profiles are studied for different physical parameters like thermal Grashof number Gr, time and an accelerating parameter a. It is observed that the velocity increases with increasing values of a or Gr.

In this research paper, we found both numerical and analytical solutions for the effect of chemical reaction on unsteady, incompressible, viscous fluid flow past an exponentially accelerated vertical plate with heat absorption and variable temperature in a magnetic field. The flow problem is governed by a system of coupled non-linear partial differential equations with suitable boundary conditions. We have solved the governing equations by an efficient, accurate, powerful finite element method (FEM) as well as Laplace transform technique (LTT). The evaluation of the numerical results are performed and graphical results for the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles within the boundary layer are discussed. Also, the expressions for the skin-friction, Nusselt number and the Sherwood number coefficients have been derived and discussed through graphs and tabular forms for different values of the governing parameters.

Abstract An exact solution of an unsteady flow past a parabolic starting motion of an infinite vertical plate with variable temperature and mass diffusion, in the presence of a homogeneous chemical reaction of first order has been studied. The plate temperature as well as concentration level near the plate are raised linearly with time t. The dimensionless governing equations are solved using the Laplace-transform technique. The effects of velocity profiles are studied for different physical parameters such as the chemical reaction parameter, thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number, Schmidt number and time. It is observed that the velocity increases with increasing values of the thermal Grashof number or mass Grashof number. The trend is just reversed with respect to the chemical reaction parameter.

Effects Of Radiation

The present paper is on study of the influence of radiation on unsteady free convection flow of Brinkman type fluid near a vertical plate containing a ramped temperature profile. Using the appropriate variables, the basic governing equations are reduced to nondimensional equations valid with the imposed initial and boundary conditions. The exact solutions are obtained by using Laplace transform technique. The influence of radiation near a ramped temperature plate is also compared with the flow near a plate with constant temperature. The numerical computations are carried out for various values of the physical parameters such as velocity, temperature, skin friction and Nusselt number and presented graphically.
