This manuscript presents the diffusion thermo and thermo diffusion effects on unsteady MHD natural convection heat and mass transfer flow past an accelerated vertical porous plate in the presence of thermal radiation, variable temperature and also variable concentration. The non-dimensional governing equations are coupled non-linear partial differential equations for which the exact solution is not possible. Hence these equations are solved numerically by using finite difference scheme. The effects of different physical parameters involved in the problem are presented and discussed with the help of graphs. The fluid velocity increases with the increasing values of Grashof number, modified Grashof number, Soret number, Dufour number and permeability of the porous medium, but a reverse behavior is found in the case of magnetic parameter and Prandtl number. The fluid temperature falls down for increasing values of radiation parameter, heat sink parameter and Prandtl number, whereas enhancement in the fluid temperature is found in the case of Soret and Dufour effects. Increasing values of Soret number results in rising of the concentration, but it falls down under the influence of Dufour number and Schmidt number.

The purpose of the present analysis is to investigate the Soret and Dufour effects on steady and incompressible MHD nonlinear convective flow of tangent hyperbolic nanofluid over a permeable stretching surface with multiple slip conditions at the wall. Also, nonlinearly varying thermal radiation, heat generation and chemical reaction along with a vanishing nanoparticle mass flux condition at the surface are taken into account. Further, Rosseland’s approximation for an optically thick and grey medium is used to approximate heat flux due to radiation. Suitable similarity transformations are employed to transform governing PDEs into a system of ODEs. The resulting nonlinear equations are then solved numerically using the shooting technique based on the Runge-Kutta Cash-Karp method. The upshots of various physical parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration distributions are illustrated and displayed through figures. The variations in coefficients of local skin friction, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are explained and presented in tabular form. The obtained results are validated with the previously reported results for a particular case of the present fluid flow problem, and an outstanding correlation is noticed from the comparison. Graphical results reveal that the nonlinear convection parameters for both temperature and concentration accelerate the primary flow. However, the Dufour number diminishes the fluid temperature near the wall, and the Soret number uplifts the concentration profile within the boundary layer.

Abstract An numerical study on an unsteady flow past an oscillating semi-infinite vertical plate with variable temperature and uniform mass diffusion under the influence of a first order chemical reaction has been carried out. The dimensionless governing equations are solved by an unconditionally stable and fast converging implicit finite difference scheme. The effects of velocity and temperature for different physical parameters such as the chemical reaction parameter, thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number and time are analysed. It is observed that due to the presence of first order chemical reaction, the velocity increases during a generative reaction and decreases in a destructive reaction

Abstract An exact solution of an unsteady flow past a parabolic starting motion of an infinite vertical plate with variable temperature and mass diffusion, in the presence of a homogeneous chemical reaction of first order has been studied. The plate temperature as well as concentration level near the plate are raised linearly with time t. The dimensionless governing equations are solved using the Laplace-transform technique. The effects of velocity profiles are studied for different physical parameters such as the chemical reaction parameter, thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number, Schmidt number and time. It is observed that the velocity increases with increasing values of the thermal Grashof number or mass Grashof number. The trend is just reversed with respect to the chemical reaction parameter.

The objective of this paper is to analyze an unsteady MHD free convective heat and mass transfer boundary flow past a semi-infinite vertical porous plate immersed in a porous medium with radiation and chemical reaction. The governing equations of the flow field are solved numerical a two term perturbation method. The effects of the various parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are presented graphically and values of skin-frication coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number for various values of physical parameters are presented through tables.

Abstract Current article is devoted with the study of MHD 3D flow of Oldroyd B type nanofluid induced by bi-directional stretching sheet. Expertise similarity transformation is confined to reduce the governing partial differential equations into ordinary nonlinear differential equations. These dimensionless equations are then solved by the Differential Transform Method combined with the Padé approximation (DTM-Padé). Dealings of the arising physical parameters namely the Deborah numbers β1 and β2, Prandtl number Pr, Brownian motion parameter Nb and thermophoresis parameter Nt on the fluid velocity, temperature and concentration profile are depicted through graphs. Also a comparative study between DTM and numerical method are presented by graph and other semi-analytical techniques through tables. It is envisage that the velocity profile declines with rising magnetic factor, temperature profile increases with magnetic parameter, Deborah number of first kind and Brownian motion parameter while decreases with Deborah number of second kind and Prandtl number. A comparative study also visualizes comparative study in details.

Abstract A theoretical solution of thermal radiation effects on an unsteady flow past a parabolic starting motion of an infinite isothermal vertical plate with uniform mass diffusion has been studied. The plate temperature as well as the concentration level near the plate are raised uniformly. The dimensionless governing equations are solved using the Laplace-transform technique. The fluid considered here is a gray, absorbing-emitting radiation but a non-scattering medium. The effects of velocity profiles are studied for different physical parameters such as the thermal radiation parameter, thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number and Schmidt number. It is observed that the velocity increases with increasing values the thermal Grashof number or mass Grashof number. The trend is just reversed with respect to the thermal radiation parameter

An exact solution to the problem of flow past an exponentially accelerated infinite vertical plate with variable temperature is analyzed. The temperature of the plate is raised linearly with time t. The dimensionless governing equations are solved using Laplace-transform technique. The velocity and temperature profiles are studied for different physical parameters like thermal Grashof number Gr, time and an accelerating parameter a. It is observed that the velocity increases with increasing values of a or Gr.

The dynamics of the 3-dimensional flow of magnetized Carreau fluid past a paraboloid surface of revolution is studied through thermal radiation and mass transfer analysis. The impacts of Brownian motion and chemical reaction rate are considered on the flow dynamics. The system of nonlinear PDEs are converted to coupled ODEs by employing suitable transformation relations. The developed ODEs are solved by applying the standard procedure of homotopy analysis method (HAM). The impacts of various interesting parameters on the state variables of the Carreau fluid (velocity components, temperature, concentration, and shear stress) are explained through various graphs and tables. It is found that the horizontal velocity components augment with the rising magnetic parameter and Grashof number values. The fluid temperature augments with the higher values of the pertinent parameters except Prandtl number. The Nusselet number and fluid concentration enhance with the augmenting Brownian motion parameter. The shear stress augments with the rising Grashof number. The agreement of the obtained and published results validate the accuracy of the employed technique.
