This work studies the steady two-dimensional MHD free convection flow past an inclined porous plate embedded in the porous medium in the presence of heat source, iSoret effect, and chemical reaction. The non-dimensional governing equations are solved by the perturbation technique. The Rosseland approximation is utilized to describe the radiative heat flux in the energy equation. The effect of magnetic parameter, heat source parameter, radiation parameter, Grashofi number, modified Grashofi number, Schmidt number, Prandtl number, porosity parameter, Soreti number, and chemical reaction on velocity, temperature, concentration profiles, skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are mainly focussed in discussion with the help of graphs. It is seen that velocity, concentration, and skin friction fall with the increasing value of chemical reaction. Further, temperature, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number increase with the increasing value of chemical reaction.

Unsteady magneto hydrodynamic (MHD) free convection flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting, well known non-Newtonian fluid named as Kuvshinski fluid past an infinite vertical porous plate in the presence of homogeneous chemical reaction, radiation absorption and heat source/sink is studied analytically. The plate is assumed to move with a constant velocity in the direction of fluid flow. A magnetic field of uniform strength is applied perpendicular to the plate, which absorbs the fluid with a suction that varies with time. The dimensionless governing equations are solved analytically using two terms harmonic and non-harmonic functions. The expressions for the fields of velocity, temperature and concentration are obtained. With the aid of these the expressions for skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are derived. The effects of various physical parameters on the flow quantities are studied through graphs and tables. For the validity, we have checked our results with previously published work and found in good agreement. Velocity decreases for an increase in visco elastic parameter α2, heat absorption coefficient φ, the chemical reaction parameter γ , the magnetic field parameter M, the Prandtl number Pr, the Schmidt number Sc, and increases for increase in Grashof number Gm, the radiation absorption parameter Q1

Free convection flow in a boundary layer region is a motion that results from the interaction of gravity with density differences within a fluid. These differences occur due to temperature or concentration gradients or due to their composition. Studies pertaining free convection flows of incompressible viscous fluids have received much attention in recent years both theoretically (exact or approximate solutions) and experimentally. The situation where the heat be transported to the convective fluid via a bounding surface having finite heat capacity is known as Newtonian heating (or conjugate convective flows). In this paper, the unsteady free convection flow of an incompressible viscous fluid between two parallel plates with Newtonian heating is studied. Appropriate non-dimensional variables are used to reduce the dimensional governing equations along with imposed initial and boundary conditions into dimensionless forms. The exact solutionsfor velocity and temperature are obtained using the Laplace transform technique. The corresponding expressions for skin friction and Nusselt number are also calculated. The graphical results are displayed to illustrate the influence of various embedded parameters such as Newtonian heating parameter and Grashof number. The results show that the effect of Newtonian heating parameter increases the Nusselt number but reduces the skin friction.

In this paper, effect of chemical reaction on mixed convection flow of an exothermic fluid in a vertical porous channel is considered. The dimensionless ordinary differential equations were solved using differential transformation method (DTM) to obtain the expression of velocity, temperature and concentration from momentum, energy and mass equations.  The effect of Skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number with various parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration are presented and discussed. The result indicated that the velocity, temperature and concentration increases with the increase in suction/injection and mixed convection parameters.

This research purpose is to investigate the exact solutions for unsteady free convection flow between oscillating parallel plates with mass diffusion and chemical reaction. The governing equations are modelled and reduced using non-dimensional variables. The method used is Laplace transform method. Solutions for velocity, temperature, and concentration fields as well as skin friction, Nusselt and Sherwood number are obtained. For physical understanding, analytical results for velocity, temperature and concentration profile are plotted graphically with respect to the Schmidt number, Prandtl number, oscillating parameter, Grashof number, mass Grashof number and chemical reaction parameter. Increasing Prandtl number and Schmidt number decreases the concentration, velocity, temperature, and skin friction but increases the Sherwood and Nusselt numbers.

A numerical modeling on MHD transient mass transfer by free convection flow of a viscous, incompressible, electrically-conducting, and Newtonian fluid through a porous medium bounded by an impulsively-started semi-infinite vertical plate in the presence of thermal radiation and chemical reaction of first order has been analyzed. The fluid is assumed optically thin gray gas, absorbing-emitting radiation, but a non-scattering medium. The dimensionless governing coupled, non-linear boundary layer partial differential equations are solved by an efficient, accurate, extensively validated and unconditionally stable finite difference scheme of the Crank-Nicolson type. The effects of the conduction-radiation parameter , chemical reaction and the porosity (K) on the velocity, temperature and concentration fields have been studied. The local skin friction, Nusselt number and the Sherwood number are also presented graphically and analyzed. Increasing magnetic parameter serves to decelerate the flow but increased temperatures and concentration values. It is found that the velocity is increased considerably with a rise in the porosity parameter (K) whereas the temperature and concentration are found to be reduced with increasing porosity (K). An increase in the porosity parameter (K) is found to escalate the local skin friction , Nusselt number and the Sherwood number . Possible applications of the present study include laminar aerodynamics, materials processing and thermo-fluid dynamics.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jname.v11i1.10269
