The present paper is an investigation of steady MHD free convection, heat and mass transfer flow of an incompressible electrically conducting fluid over a stretching sheet in a rotating system under the influence of an applied uniform magnetic field with Hall current. The governing equations are transformed to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations which are then solved numerically by the shooting method. The numerical results concerned with the primary velocity, secondary velocity, temperature and concentration profiles, effects of various parameters on the flow fields are investigated and presented graphically. The results presented graphically illustrate that primary velocity field decrease due to increase of rotational and magnetic parameter but reverse results arises in case of Hall and heat generation parameter while secondary velocity decrease for stretching parameter and increase for Hall, rotational and magnetic parameter. The thermal boundary layer decreases for the increasing values of mentioned parameter. Also, concentration profiles decreases for increasing the values of magnetic parameter, rotational parameter, reaction parameter and Schmidt number but increases for heat generation and Dufour number. Finally, the numerical values of the skin friction, wall temperature gradient and concentration gradient are also shown in a tabular form.

Forced Convection Flow

The present study comprises of steady two dimensional magnetohydrodynamic heat and mass transfer forced convection flow along a vertical stretching sheet in the presence of magnetic field with radiation. The nonlinear partial differential equations governing the flow field occurring in the problem have been transformed to dimensionless nonlinear ordinary differential equations by introducing suitably selected similarity variables. The ensuing equations are simultaneously solved by applying Nachtsheim-Swigert shooting iteration technique with sixth order Runge-Kutta integration scheme. The results in the form of velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are then displayed graphically. The corresponding skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are displayed graphically and also in tabular form as well. Several important parameters such as the prandtl number (Pr), radiation parameter (N), magnetic field parameter (M), heat source parameter (Q), schmidt number (Sc), suction parameter (fw ) and eckert number (Ec) are confronted. The effects of these parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are investigated. Key Words: MHD; Forced convection; Stretching sheet; Radiation; Heat generation.

The use of microelectrodes in biofilm research allows a better understanding of intrinsic biofilm processes. Little is known about mass transfer and substrate utilization in the boundary layer of biofilm systems. One possible description of mass transfer can be obtained by mass transfer coefficients, both on the basis of the stagnant film theory or with the Sherwood number. This approach is rather formal and not quite correct when the heterogeneity of the biofilm surface structure is taken into account. It could be shown that substrate loading is a major factor in the description of the development of the density. On the other hand, the time axis is an important factor which has to be considered when concentration profiles in biofilm systems are discussed. Finally, hydrodynamic conditions become important for the development of the biofilm surface when the Reynolds number increases above the range of 3000-4000.

Layer Flow

In this paper, we obtained solutions of boundary layer flow and heat transfer for two classes of viscoelastic fluid over a stretching sheet with internal heat generation or absorption. In the analysis, we consider second-grade fluid and Walter's liquid B. The governing equations are transformed into self-similar ordinary differential equations by similarity transformations. The flow equation relating to momentum is solved analytically and then the heat equation using the Kummer's function. The analysis reveals that for the increase in magnitude of viscoelastic parameter both the velocity and temperature for a fixed point increase for second-grade fluid and both decrease for Walter's liquid B. Due to increase in Prandtl number and heat sink parameter, the thermal boundary layer thickness reduces, whereas increasing heat source parameter increases that thickness.
