An analysis of free convection and mass transfer unsteady magnetohydrodynamic flow of an electrically conducting viscous incompressible fluid past an infinite vertical porous plate is presented by taking into account the Dufour and Soret effects. With a goal to attain similarity solutions of the problem posed, similarity equations are derived by introducing a time dependent length scale. The non-linear similarity equations, which are locally similar, are solved numerically using shooting method. Dimensionless velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are displayed graphically for different values of the parameters entering into the problem. Finally, the corresponding local skin-friction, local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number, which are of physical interest are tabulated.

A parametric study to investigate the effect of chemical reaction parameter on an MHD mixed convective mass transfer flow of an incompressible viscous electrically conducting fluid past an infinite vertical porous plate. The equations of motion are work out by assuming Laplace Transform approach. The velocity profile, temperature, concentration, viscous drag, Nusselt number and the rate of mass transfer are discussed graphically by assuming some arbitrary criterion given in the present paper and physical descriptions are made. It is emphasized from the graphical portion that chemical species retards the fluid flow

An exact solution of the problem of the unsteady free convection and mass transfer flow near an infinite vertical porous plate, which moves with time-dependent velocity in a viscous and incompressible fluid, is presented here by the Laplace transform technique. All expressions of the new solutions of the present problem were obtained in closed forms with arbitrary Prandtl number (Pr), Schmidt number (Sc), thermal Grashof number (Gr), and mass Grashof number (Gm). Two applications of physical interest for porous or nonporous plate are discussed. Applying numerical values into the expressions of analytical solution, we was also discussed the vertical air flows—the usual phenomenon at plumes into the atmosphere.

Unsteady hydromagnetic free convective flow of a viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting, and heat radiating fluid past a flat plate with ramped wall temperature and suction/blowing is studied. The governing equations are first subjected to Laplace transformation and then inverted numerically usingINVLAProutine of Matlab. The numerical solutions of the fluid properties are presented graphically while the skin friction and heat and mass transfer coefficients are presented in tabular form. The results are verified by a careful comparison with results in the literature for certain parameter values.

An unsteady, two-dimensional, hydromagnetic, laminar mixed convective boundary layer flow of an incompressible and electrically-conducting fluid along an infinite vertical plate embedded in the porous medium with heat and mass transfer is analyzed, by taking into account the effect of viscous dissipation. The dimensionless governing equations for this investigation are solved analytically using two-term harmonic and non-harmonic functions. Numerical evaluation of the analytical results is performed and graphical results for velocity, temperature and concentration profiles within the boundary layer are discussed. The results show that increased cooling (Gr > 0) of the plate and the Eckert number leads to a rise in the velocity profile. Also, an increase in Eckert number leads to an increase in the temperature. Effects of Sc on velocity and concentration are discussed and shown graphically.

The numerical studies are performed to examine the unsteady MHD free convection and mass transfer flow through a porous medium with thermal diffusion and diffusion thermo past an infinite vertical porous plate in a rotating system. Method of superposition is used as a main tool for numerical solution. The study is mainly based on the similarity approach. Impulsively started plate moving in its own plane is considered. Similarity equations of the corresponding momentum, energy and concentration equations are derived by introducing a time dependent length scale which infact plays the role of a similarity parameter. The velocity component is taken to be inversely proportional to this parameter. The effects on the velocity, temperature, concentration, local skin-friction coefficients, Nusselt number and the Sherwood number of the various important parameters entering into the problem separately are discussed with the help of graphs and tables.

In this paper, unsteady electrically conducting, incompressible, heat and mass transfer Magnetohydrodynamic free convective fluid flow with Cu-nanoparticles over a vertical plate embedded in a porous medium and variable boundary conditions are considered. The governing PDE's have been converted to non-dimensional equations then solved by FET for velocity, temperature and concentration profiles with the influence of buoyancy force due to heat and mass transfer, Prandtl and Schmidt number , time, magnetic and chemical reaction parameter in case of pure fluid and Cu-water nanofluid. The Cu-water nanofluid velocity is low than pure fluid, these are presented through graphical form . Also presented the local Skin-friction coefficient, rate of heat and mass transfer and code of validation through tabular forms.

The Dufour and Soret effects on unsteady MHD free convection and mass transfer flow past an infinite vertical porous plate embedded in a porous medium have been studied numerically. The non-linear partial differential equations, governing the problem under consideration, have been transformed by a similarity transformation into a system of ordinary differential equations, which is solved numerically by applying Nachtsheim-Swigert shooting iteration technique together with sixth order Runge-Kutta integration scheme. The effects of various parameters entering into the problem have been examined on the flow field for a hydrogen-air mixture as a non-chemical reacting fluid pair. Finally, the numerical values of local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number are also presented in tabular form.

In the present study, an analysis is carried out to study the variable viscosity and chemical reaction effects on the flow, heat, and mass transfer characteristics in a viscous fluid over a semi-infinite vertical porous plate. The governing boundary layer equations are written into a dimensionless form by similarity transformations. The transformed coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by using the shooting method. The effects of different parameters on the dimensionless velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are shown graphically. In addition, tabulated results for the local skin-friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number, and the local Sherwood number are presented and discussed.
