AbstractAn investigation of unsteady hydromagnetic natural convection heat and mass transfer flow of an electrically conducting, viscous, incompressible and optically thick radiating fluid past an impulsively moving infinite vertical plate embedded in a uniform porous medium in a rotating system with Hall effects in the presence of homogeneous first order chemical reaction is carried out when temperature of the plate has a temporarily ramped profile. Exact solution of the governing equations is obtained in closed form by Laplace transform technique. Expressions for skin friction due to primary and secondary flows and Nusselt number are derived for both ramped temperature and isothermal plates. Expression for Sherwood number is also derived. The numerical values of primary and secondary fluid velocities, fluid temperature and species concentration are displayed graphically whereas those of skin friction are presented in tabular form for various values of pertinent flow parameters. In order to highlight the influence of ramped temperature distribution within the plate on the flow-field, the fluid flow past a ramped temperature plate is compared with the one past an isothermal plate.

AbstractThis work studies the natural convection heat and mass transfer near a horizontal cylinder of elliptic cross section with constant wall temperature and concentration in a fluid-saturated porous medium. A coordinate transformation is used to obtain the nonsimilar governing boundary layer equations. The transformed governing equations are then solved by the cubic spline collocation method. Results for the local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are presented as functions of the Lewis number, the buoyancy ratio, and the aspect ratio when the major axis of the elliptical cylinder is vertical (slender orientation) and horizontal (blunt orientation). The heat and mass transfer rates of the elliptical cylinder with slender orientation are higher than those with blunt orientation.
