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.

Explicit finite-difference method was used to obtain the solution of the system of the non-linear ordinary differential equations which transform from the non-linear partial differential equations. These equations describe the steady magneto-hydrodynamic flow of an oldroyd 8-constant non-Newtonian nano-fluid through a non-Darcy porous medium with heat and mass transfer. The induced magnetic field was taken into our consideration. The numerical formula of the velocity, the induced magnetic field, the temperature, the concentration, and the nanoparticle concentration distributions of the problem were illustrated graphically. The effect of the material parameters (α1 α2), Darcy number Da, Forchheimer number Fs, Magnetic Pressure number RH, Magnetic Prandtl number Pm, Prandtl number Pr, Radiation parameter Rn, Dufour number Nd, Brownian motion parameter Nb, Thermophoresis parameter Nt, Heat generation Q, Lewis number Le, and Sort number Ld on those formula were discussed specially in the case of pure Coutte flow (U0 = 1, d <inline-formula> <mml:math display="block"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mover accent="true"> <mml:mi>P</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="true">^</mml:mo> </mml:mover> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> </inline-formula> /dx = 0).

In this study a mathematical analysis has been carried out to scrutinize the unsteady boundary layer flow of an incompressible, rarefied gaseous flow over a vertical stretching sheet with velocity slip and thermal jump boundary conditions in the presence of thermal radiation. Using boundary layer approach and suitable similarity transformations, the governing partial differential equations with the boundary conditions are reduced to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations. The resulting non-linear ordinary differential equations are solved with the help of fourth order Runge-Kutta method with shooting technique. The results obtained for the velocity profile, temperature profile, skin friction coefficient and the reduced Nusselt number are described through graphs. It is predicted that the velocity and temperature profiles are lower for unsteady flow and has an opposite effect for steady flow.

AbstractThis paper analyzes the flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics of the mixed convection on a vertical plate in a micropolar fluid in the presence of Soret and Dufour effects. A uniform magnetic field of magnitude is applied normal to the plate. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into a system of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations and then solved numerically using the Keller-box method. The numerical results are compared and found to be in good agreement with previously published results as special cases of the present investigation. The rate of heat and mass transfer at the plate are presented graphically for various values of coupling number, magnetic parameter, Prandtl number, Schmidt number, Dufour and Soret numbers. In addition, the skin-friction coefficient, the wall couple stress are shown in a tabular form.

AbstractIn the present paper focused on flow and mass transfer of Prandtl fluid over a Riga plate. The effects of chemical reaction and solutal slip are taken into the account. The governing partial differential equations are reduced into a set of coupled non linear ordinary differential equations using suitable similarity transformations. These equations are then solved using Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg-45 method. Behaviour of emerging parameters are presented graphically and discussed for velocity and concentration distribution. Numerical values of reduced skin friction coefficient and Sherwood number are shown in table and are discussed. From the plotted results it can be observed that the solutal boundary layer thickness decreases for larger values of chemical reaction parameter and Schmidt number. Also, momentum boundary layer thickness rise with stronger modified Hartman number.

AbstractAn analytical study is presented for the problem of unsteady hydromagnetic heat and mass transfer for a micropolar fluid bounded by semi-infinite vertical permeable plate in the presence of first-order chemical reaction, thermal radiation and heat absorption. A uniform magnetic field acts perpendicularly to the porous surface which absorbs the micropolar fluid with a time-dependent suction velocity. The basic partial differential equations are reduced to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations which are solved analytically using perturbation technique. Numerical calculations for the analytical expressions are carried out and the results are shown graphically. The effects of the various dimensionless parameters related to the problem on the velocity, angular velocity, temperature and concentration fields are discussed in detail.

The present investigation is concerned with the study of heat and mass transfer characteristics on MHD boundary layer flow of an electrically conducting micropolar fluid over a non-isothermal stretching sheet embedded in a porous medium of variable thermal conductivity by applying prescribed heat flux for the heating processes. The thermal boundary layer equation takes into account of Ohmic dissipation due to transverse magnetic and electric fields. The governing system of partial differential equations is transformed into a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformation. The transformed non-linear coupled differential equations are linearized by quasi-linearization method and then solved very efficiently by finite-difference method. Attention has been focused to study the effects of various physical parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration in the boundary layer. Numerical data for the local skin friction coefficient, surface temperature and surface solutal concentration have also been tabulated for various parametric conditions.

Heat and mass transfer in the boundary-layer flow of unsteady viscous nanofluid along a vertical stretching sheet in the presence of magnetic field, thermal radiation, heat generation, and chemical reaction are presented in this paper. The sheet is situated in the xz-plane and y is normal to the surface directing towards the positive y-axis. The sheet is continuously stretching in the positive x-axis and the external magnetic field is applied to the system parallel to the positive y-axis. With the help of similarity transformations, the partial differential equations are transformed into a couple of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The new problem is then solved numerically by a finite-difference scheme known as the Keller-box method. Effects of the necessary parameters in the flow field are explicitly studied and briefly explained graphically and in tabular form. For the selected values of the pertinent parameters appearing in the governing equations, numerical results of velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are obtained. The results are compared to the works of others (from previously published journals) and they are found in excellent agreement.
