Abstract The problem of unsteady magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) free convection flow of nano-fluid past an oscillation moving vertical semi-infinite permeable flat plate with constant heat source and vertical variable thermal boundary condition in a rotating frame of reference is studied theoretically. The boundary layer has the oscillatory type of solution because slip velocity is assumed to oscillate in time with constant frequency. The governing equations are solved using small perturbation approximation. For this investigation, we use two types of nano-particles in base fluid, namely Cu (copper) and Al2O3 (aluminium oxide). The effect of various types of suspended metallic nano-particles and non-dimensional physical parameters on the fluid flow and heat transfer rate are presented and discussed through the graphs.

This work studies the steady two-dimensional MHD free convection flow past an inclined porous plate embedded in the porous medium in the presence of heat source, iSoret effect, and chemical reaction. The non-dimensional governing equations are solved by the perturbation technique. The Rosseland approximation is utilized to describe the radiative heat flux in the energy equation. The effect of magnetic parameter, heat source parameter, radiation parameter, Grashofi number, modified Grashofi number, Schmidt number, Prandtl number, porosity parameter, Soreti number, and chemical reaction on velocity, temperature, concentration profiles, skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are mainly focussed in discussion with the help of graphs. It is seen that velocity, concentration, and skin friction fall with the increasing value of chemical reaction. Further, temperature, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number increase with the increasing value of chemical reaction.
