Thermal radiation effects on an unsteady free convective flow of a viscous incompressible flow of a past an exponentially accelerated infinite isothermal vertical plate with uniform mass diffusion in the presence magnetic field are considered. The fluid considered here is a gray, absorbing-emitting radiation but a non-scattering medium. The plate temperature is raised to Tw and the concentration level near the plate is also raised to Cʹw . An exact solution to the dimensionless governing equations is obtained by the Laplace transform method, when the plate is exponentially accelerated with a velocity u= u0 exp(aʹtʹ) in its own plane against gravitational field. The effects of velocity, temperature and concentration fields are studied for different physical parameters such as the magnetic field parameter, thermal radiation parameter, Schmidt number, thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number and time. It is observed that the velocity increases with decreasing magnetic field parameter or radiation parameter. But the trend is just reversed with respect to a or t .

Abstract The effects of thermal radiation on a flow past an impulsively started infinite vertical plate in the presence of a magnetic field have been studied. The fluid considered is a gray, absorbing-emitting radiation but non-scattering medium. The dimensionless governing equations are solved by an efficient, more accurate, unconditionally stable and fast converging implicit scheme. The effects of velocity and temperature for different parameters such as the thermal radiation, magnetic field, Schmidt number, thermal Grashof number and mass Grashof number are studied. It is observed that the velocity decreases in the presence of thermal radiation or a magnetic field

Theoretical investigation is presented here for the model of unsteady MHD thermal convection flow of a viscous incompressible absorbingemitting optically thin gray gas along an impulsivelystarted semi-infinite vertical plate adjacent to the Darcian porous regime in the presence of a first order chemical reaction and significant thermal radiation effects. The conservation equations are nondimensionalized and are solved by an accurate and unconditionally stable implicit finite difference scheme of Crank-Nicholson type. The flow is found to be accelerated with increasing porosity parameter (K), whereas the temperature and concentration distributions are reduced in the Darcian regime. Flow velocity and Temperature are found to be depressed with progression of thermal radiation (Ra) contribution, but enhanced the concentration distribution. Applications of the model arise in solar energy collector analysis, magneto-fluid dynamics and industrial materials processing.

This article investigates the magnetohydrodynamic mixed convective heat, and mass transfer flow of an incompressible, viscous, Boussinesq, electrically conducting fluid from a vertical plate in a sparsely packed porous medium in the presence of thermal radiation and an nth order homogeneous chemical reaction between the fluid and the diffusing species numerically. In this investigation, the fluid and porous properties like thermal and solutal diffusivity, permeability and porosity are all considered to be vary. The governing non-linear PDE's for the fluid flow are derived and transformed into a system of ODE's using an appropriate similarity transformation. The resultant equations are solved numerically using shooting technique and Runge-Kutta integral scheme with the help of Newton-Raphson algorithm in order to know the characteristics of the fluid for various non-dimensional parameters which are controlling the physical system graphically. The results of the numerical scheme are validated and a numerical comparison has been made with the available literature in the absence of some parameters and found that in good agreement.

The work of steady hydromagnetic stream of Casson liquid in a micro-channel constructed by two indefinite vertical proportionate walls in the appearance of thermal radiation is presented in this article. The effect of an imposed magnetic domain appearing scheduled to movement of an electrically administrating liquid is adopted into account. The exact solutions of the liquid velocity, imposed magnetic domain, and temperature domain have been obtained. Also, the analytical expressions for the skin-friction coefficient and imposed current density are obtained. The basic aspiration of this article is to reinvestigate the supremacy of pertinent physical constraints like magnetic Prandtl number, injection/suction parameter, Hartmann number, thermal radiation parameter, rarefaction parameter, wall ambient temperature difference ratio, and liquid wall interaction parameter over the imposed magnetic field and velocity of the liquid. Lorentz force which is obtained from magnetic field has a propensity to decline the motion of liquid and imposed magnetic field. The imposed current density rises with an enhancement in the hydromagnetic Prandtl number. This study is applied in the machines like transformers, generators, and motors work on the principle of electromagnetic induction. Results are compared with the literature in the limiting case.
