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.

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.

In this manuscript, we have investigated the influence of radiation absorption on an unsteady MHD convective heat and mass transfer flow of a Newtonian fluid past a vertical porous plate in the presence of thermal radiation and chemical reaction. The non dimensional governing equations have been solved by using a multiple perturbation method, subject to the corresponding boundary conditions. The effects of various physical parameters such as velocity, temperature and concentration are studied through graphs. The expressions for local skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are derived and discussed with the help of a table. It is noticed that velocity increases when an increase in modified Grashof number Gm, radiation absorption parameter χ, Sorret number S0, time t whereas it decreases when an increase in Schmidt number Sc, chemical reaction parameter Kr and radiation parameter F. Temperature increases with an increase in radiation parameter χ and Sorret number S0whereas it decreases with an increase in chemical reaction parameter Kr, F and ϕ. Concentration is observed to be decreased when chemical reaction parameter Kr and Schmidt number Sc increase whereas it increases with an increase in Sorret number S0. Skin friction increases with an increase modified Grashof number Gm, radiation parameter χ and Sorret number S0whereas it has reverse effect in the case of Schmidt number Sc, chemical reaction parameter Kr. Nusselt number increases with an increase in Sc, S0, χ whereas it has reverse effect in the case of Kr. Sherwood number gets decreased when Sc, χ and Kr both are increased whereas it has shown revere effect in the case of S0.

An exact solution of unsteady free convective and mass transfer flow through porous medium bounded by a vertical porous plate with an oscillating free stream velocity is obtained. The entire system rotates about an axis normal to the plate. Existence of multiple Ekman boundary layer modified by the presence of free convection and mass transfer is observed near the neighbourhood of plate wall. Key words: Porous medium; rotating system; free convective flow; mass transfer. GANIT J. Bangladesh Math. Soc. (ISSN 1606-3694) 29 (2009) 107-115  DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/ganit.v29i0.8520
