An analysis of two dimensional free convective hydro-magnetic flow of an electrically conducting visco-elastic fluid past a vertical porous surface has been studied in the presence of magnetic field and chemical reaction of first order with heat source. Simultaneously effects of heat and mass transfer are also studied in combination of the physics of diffusion thermo (Dufour effect) and suction at the plate is assumed to be constant. The equations governing are solved by perturbation technique. Analytical expressions for velocity, temperature and concentration fields, non-dimensional skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are obtained. The results are analyzed graphically for various values of visco-elastic parameter along with a combination of other flow parameters involved in the solution.

<p><em>This article deals with the effect of an inclined magnetic field with heat source/sink on the flow of nanofluids in a tapered asymmetric porous channel. Effect of chemical reaction has been taken into account. The blood is considered as an incompressible electrically conducting viscous fluid. The assumption of low Reynolds number and long wave length approximations has been adopted. Exact solutions for dimensionless axial velocity, concentration and temperature profile are obtained analytically. The obtained results are displayed and discussed in detail with the help of graphs for the variation of different emerging flow parameters.</em></p>

Abstract A boundary layer flow of an electrically conducting viscous fluid past a converging channel in the presence of thermophoresis, heat source, chemical reaction, viscous dissipation and simultaneous heat and mass transfer characteristics is studied in the paper. An external magnetic field of uniform strength is applied transversely to the channel. The similarity solution has been used to transform the partial differential equations that represent the problem into a boundary value problem of coupled ordinary differential equations, which in turn are solved numerically using MATLAB’s built in solver bvp4c. Numerical computations are carried out to solve the problem and graphical illustrations are made to get the physical insight of the same. The convergent channel flow problem of an incompressible electrically conducting viscous fluid in the presence of a magnetic field has a wide range of applicability in different areas of engineering, specially in industrial metal casting and control of molten metal flow.

Abstract The problem of heat and mass transfer in a visco-elastic fluid flow over a stretching sheet in the presence of a uniform magnetic field is examined. The important physical quantities such as the skin friction coefficient, heat transfer co-efficient and the mass transfer co-efficient are determined. It is found that the heat and mass transfer distribution decreases with the increasing values of the visco-elastic parameter k1.

The effects of radiation and chemical reactions, in the presence of a transverse magnetic field, on free convective flow and mass transfer of an optically dense viscous, incompressible, and electrically conducting fluid past a vertical isothermal cone surface are investigated. The nonlinear boundary-layer equations with the boundary conditions are transferred by a similarity transformation into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations with the appropriate boundary conditions. Furthermore, the similarity equations are solved numerically by using a fourth-order Runge–Kutta scheme with the shooting method. Numerical results for the skin-friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number, the local Sherwood number are given; as well, the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are presented for a Prandtl number of 0.7, the chemical-reaction parameter, the order of the reaction, the radiation parameter, the Schmidt number, the magnetic parameter, and the surface temperature parameter.

Purpose This study aims to focus on second grade fluid flow over a rotating disk in the presence of chemical reaction. Uniform magnetic field is also taken into account. Because of the smaller magnetic Reynolds number, induced magnetic field is negligible. Heat equation is constructed by considering heat source/sink. Design/methodology/approach Suitable variables are used to transform nonlinear partial differential equations to ordinary ones. Convergent series solutions are attained by applying homotopy analysis method. Findings Trends of different parameters on concentration, velocity and temperature are shown graphically. Skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number are calculated and investigated under the effect of elaborated parameters. An elevation in the value of magnetic field parameter causes collapse in the velocity distributions. Velocity distribution in increasing function of viscoelastic parameter. Temperature and concentration profiles are decreasing functions of viscoelastic parameter. Concentration distribution reduces by increasing the chemical reaction parameter. There is more surface drag force for larger M, while opposite behavior is noted for β. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, such consideration is yet to be published in the literature.

The present paper deals with the unsteady laminar flow of an incompressible, electrically conducting dusty visco-elastic fluid between two parallel stationary plates. The flow is caused by an exponentially decaying pressure gradient .A uniform magnetic field is applied on the lower plate at different inclinations. We observe that the motions of the fluid and dust particles are affected by the variation of some significant physical parameters of the visco-elastic fluid. Mass concentration number, time-relaxation parameter, visco-elastic parameter, intensity of the applied magnetic field and time are some of indispensable physical parameters of fluid flow. The governing equations of motion have been solved by analytical method and the results have been discussed with the help of graphs. The velocity is observed to be symmetrical with the centre of the channel of fluid flow as well as of dust particles. The velocity of the fluid particles and that of the dust particles go on decreasing with an increase in the values of mass concentration number, magnetic field intensity, visco-elastic parameter and time whereas the velocity profiles of fluid and dust particles are observed to be increasing with an increase in the time- relaxation parameter.
