Of concern in this paper is an investigation of the combined effects of thermal radiation and Hall current on momentum, heat and mass transfer in laminar boundary-layer flow over an inclined permeable stretching sheet with variable viscosity. The sheet is linearly stretched in the presence of an external magnetic field and the fluid motion is subjected to a uniform porous medium. The effect of internal heat generation/absorption is also taken into account. The fluid viscosity is assumed to vary as an inverse linear function of temperature. The boundary-layer equations that governing the flow problem have reduced to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations with a suitable similarity transformation. Then the transformed equations are solved numerically by employing a finite difference scheme. Thus the results obtained are presented graphically for the various parameters of interest.

In this paper, analytic approximation to the heat and mass transfer characteristics of a two-dimensional time-dependent flow of Williamson nanofluids over a permeable stretching sheet embedded in a porous medium has been presented by considering the effects of magnetic field, thermal radiation, and chemical reaction. The governing partial differential equations along with the boundary conditions were reduced to dimensionless forms by using suitable similarity transformation. The resulting system of ordinary differential equations with the corresponding boundary conditions was solved via the homotopy analysis method. The results of the study show that velocity, temperature, and concentration boundary layer thicknesses generally decrease as we move away from the surface of the stretching sheet and the Williamson parameter was found to retard the velocity but it enhances the temperature and concentration profiles near the surface. It was also found that increasing magnetic field strength, thermal radiation, or rate of chemical reaction speeds up the mass transfer but slows down the heat transfer rates in the boundary layer. The results of this study were compared with some previously published works under some restrictions, and they are found in excellent agreement.

in this paper, we analyzed the effect of a suction and Soret number on heat and mass transfer Magneto Hydrodynamics (MHD) flow past an exponentially stretching sheet with the heat source/sink. Appropriate similarity transformations were employed to convert the governing partial differential equations to a set of highly non-linear ordinary differential equations, which was then solved numerically by Runga kutta sixth order method together with shooting technique. The Numerical results are obtained for the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers for selected values of the governing parameters, such as the suction, magnetic field parameter  , viscous dissipation parameter  , heat generation parameter  , Schmidt number  , and the chemical reaction rate parameter  . Besides, it is obtained that the concentration profile decreases with an increment of the Schmidt number. A comparison was made with a previous study available in the literature and we found that it is in a good agreement.

Abstract The present paper deals with the effect of surface heat and mass transfer on magnetohydrodynamic flow of Powell–Eyring fluid over a vertical stretching sheet. The effects of thermophoresis, Joule heating and chemical reaction are also considered. The governing non-linear partial differential equations of the model are transformed into coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations using a similarity transformation and solved numerically by Runge–Kutta method and analytically by homotopy analysis method (HAM). The convergence is carefully checked by plotting $$\hbar $$-curves. For different dimensionless parameters, numerical and analytical calculations are carried out and an investigation of the obtained results shows that the flow field is influenced considerably by the buoyancy ratio and thermal radiation, chemical reaction and magnetic field parameters. A totally analytical and consistently applicable solution is derived which agrees with numerical results.

Abstract This paper investigates a chemically reactive Magnetohydrodynamics fluid flow with heat and mass transfer over a permeable surface taking into consideration the buoyancy force, injection/suction, heat source/sink and thermal radiation. The governing momentum, energy and concentration balance equations are transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations by method of similarity transformation and solved numerically by Runge- Kutta method based on Shooting technique. The influence of various pertinent parameters on the velocity, temperature, concentration fields are discussed graphically. Comparison of this work with previously published works on special cases of the problem was carried out and the results are in excellent agreement. Results also show that the thermo physical parameters in the momentum boundary layer equations increase the skin friction coefficient but decrease the momentum boundary layer. Fluid suction/injection and Prandtl number increase the rate of heat transfer. The order of chemical reaction is quite significant and there is a faster rate of mass transfer when the reaction rate and Schmidt number are increased.
