In the present document we inspect the deportation study of heat and mass transfer flow of a viscous electrically conducting fluid in a vertical wavy channel under the influence of an inclined magnetic fluid with heat generating sources. The walls of the channels are perpetuated at constant temperature and concentration. The equations reign over the flow heat and concentration are solved by employing perturbation technique with a slope d of the wavy wall. The velocity, temperature and concentration distributions are investigated for a different value of Grashof number Hartmann number, Buoyancy ratio etc. The rate of heat and mass transfer are numerically estimated for a different variation of the governing parameters. It is found that higher the Lorentz force lesser the axial velocity in the flow region. An increase in the Hall parameter (m) enhances the axial velocity.

In this study, the effects of viscous and Ohmic dissipation in steady, laminar, mixed, convection heat transfer for an electrically conducting fluid flowing through a vertical channel is investigated in both aiding and opposing buoyancy situations. The plates exchange heat with an external fluid. Both conditions of equal and different reference temperatures of the external fluid are considered. First, the simpler cases of either negligible Brinkman number or negligible Grashof number are addressed with the help of analytical solutions. The combined effects of buoyancy forces and viscous dissipation are analyzed using a perturbation series method valid for small values of the perturbation parameter. To relax the conditions on the perturbation parameter, the governing equations are also evaluated numerically by a shooting technique that uses the classical explicit Runge–Kutta method of four slopes as an integration scheme and the Newton–Raphson method as a correction scheme. In the examined cases of velocity and temperature fields, the Nusselt numbers at both the walls and the average velocity are explored. It is found that the velocity profiles for an open circuit (E > 0 or E < 0) lie in between the short circuit (E = 0). The graphical results illustrating the effects of various parameters on the flow as well as the average velocity and Nusselt numbers are presented for open and short circuits. In the absence of electric field load parameter and Hartmann number, the results agree with Zanchini (Int. J. Heat Mass Transfer, 41, 3949 (1998)). Further, the analytical and numerical solutions agree very well for small values of the perturbation parameter.

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

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.
