Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the steady 2D buoyancy effects on MHD flow over a permeable stretching sheet through porous medium in the presence of suction/injection. Design/methodology/approach Similarity transformations are employed to transform the governing partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. The transformed equations are then solved numerically by a shooting technique. Findings The working fluid is examined for several sundry parameters graphically and in tabular form. It is observed that with an increase in magnetic field and permeability of porous parameter, velocity profile decreases while temperature and concentration enhances. Stretching sheet parameter reduces velocity, temperature and concentration, whereas it increases skin friction factor, Nusselt number and Sherwood number. Originality/value Till now no numerical studies are reported on the effects of heat source and thermal radiation on MHD flow over a permeable stretching sheet embedded in porous medium in the presence of chemical reaction.

An attempt has been made to study the heat and mass transfer effect in a boundary layer MHD flow of an electrically conducting viscous fluid subject to transverse magnetic field on an exponentially stretching sheet through porous medium. The effect of thermal radiation and heat source/sink has also been discussed in this paper. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into a system of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations and then solved numerically using a fourth-order Runge-Kutta method with a shooting technique. Graphical results are displayed for nondimensional velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles while numerical values of the skin friction local Nusselt number and Sherwood number are presented in tabular form for various values of parameters controlling the flow system.

In this paper, unsteady MHD flow of heat and mass transfer of Cu-water and TiO2-water nanofluids over stretching sheet with a non-uniform heat/source/sink considering viscous dissipation and chemical reaction is investigated. The governing partial differential equations with the corresponding boundary conditions are transformed to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations and solved using Keller box method. The velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are obtained and the influences of various relevant parameters, namely the magnetic parameter M, Prandtl number Pr, Eckert number Ec, Schmidt number Le , chemical reaction parameter K,unsteadiness parameter S and the Soret number Sr on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are discussed. The skin-friction coefficient–f''(0), heat transfer coefficient –θ'(0) and mass transfer coefficient –φ'(0) are presented in tables. A comparison with published results is also presented and found in good agreement. Keywords: MHD; Keller box method; unsteady; nanofluid; non-uniform heat/source/sink; chemical reaction; viscous dissipation.

The steady two-dimensional radiative MHD boundary layer flow of an incompressible, viscous, electrically conducting fluid caused by a nonisothermal linearly stretching sheet placed at the bottom of fluid saturated porous medium in the presence of viscous dissipation and chemical reaction is studied. The governing system of partial differential equations is converted to ordinary differential equations by using the similarity transformations, which are then solved by shooting method. The dimensionless velocity, temperature, and concentration are computed for different thermophysical parameters, namely, the magnetic parameter, permeability parameter, radiation parameter, wall temperature parameter, Prandtl number, Eckert number, Schmidt number, and chemical reaction.

In this paper we have studied and discussed the problem of unsteady flow of a visco-elastic (walter’s liquid model B) fluid through porous medium in presence of a heat source and a uniform magnetic field with effect of chemical reaction parameter. The effect of chemical reaction parameter g, porous parameter K and magnetic parameter on fluid velocity, temperature and concentration with respect to vertical axis Y and time t are discussed graphically.
