The study of mass transfer in the non-Newtonian fluid is essential in understanding the engine lubrication, the cooling system of electronic devices, and the manufacturing process of the chemical industry. Optimal performance of the practical applications requires the appropriate conditions. The unsteady transient free convective flow of second-grade fluid with mass transfer and wall transpiration is concerned in the present communication. The behavior of the second-grade fluid under the influence of injection or suction is discussed. Suitable non-dimensional variables are utilized to transform the governing equations into non-dimensional governing equations. A Maple solver “pdsolve” that is using the centered implicit scheme of a finite difference method is utilized to solve the dimensionless governing equations numerically. The effects of wall injection or suction parameter, second-grade fluid viscoelastic parameter, Schmidt number, and modified Grashof number on the velocity and concentration profiles are graphically displayed and analyzed. The results show that with increasing wall suction, viscoelastic parameter, and Schmidt number, the velocity and concentration profiles decrease. Whereas, the velocity profiles show an opposite tendency in situations of wall injection. The wall suction has increased the skin friction and also the rate of mass diffusion in the second-grade fluid.

AbstractThis investigation analyses a three dimensional flow and mass transfer of a second grade fluid over a porous stretching wall in the presence of suction or injection. The equations governing the flow are attained in terms of partial differential equations. A similarity transformation has been utilized for the transformation of partial differential equations into the ordinary differential equations. The solutions of the nonlinear systems are given by the homotopy analysis method (HAM). A comparative study with the previous results of a viscous fluid has been made. The convergence of the series solution has also been considered explicitly. The influence of admissible parameters on the flows is delineated through graphs and appropriate results are presented. In addition, it is found that instantaneous suction and injection reduce viscous drag on the stretching sheet. It is also shown that suction or injection of a fluid through the surface is an example of mass transfer and it can change the flow field.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study the heat and mass transfer with Soret-Dufour effects for the magnetohydrodynamic three-dimensional flow of second grade fluid in the rotating frame of reference. Design/methodology/approach – Series solution is obtained by homotopy analysis method. Findings – Increase in Soret number, Schmidt number and Dufour number, the heat transfer increases and mass transfer decreases. Effects of Prandtl and Eckert numbers are qualitatively similar as they assist the temperature profile and reduce the concentration of species. Increase in the length of the channel versus height increases the temperature profile but decreases the concentration field. Increase in the second grade fluid parameter causes reduction in both the temperature and concentration fields. The heat flux values at the lower plate are smaller than the values at the upper plate, whereas the situation is opposite in the case of mass transfer. Originality/value – These findings will be useful for the fluid flow in porous channel.
