The effects of radiation and chemical reactions, in the presence of a transverse magnetic field, on free convective flow and mass transfer of an optically dense viscous, incompressible, and electrically conducting fluid past a vertical isothermal cone surface are investigated. The nonlinear boundary-layer equations with the boundary conditions are transferred by a similarity transformation into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations with the appropriate boundary conditions. Furthermore, the similarity equations are solved numerically by using a fourth-order Runge–Kutta scheme with the shooting method. Numerical results for the skin-friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number, the local Sherwood number are given; as well, the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are presented for a Prandtl number of 0.7, the chemical-reaction parameter, the order of the reaction, the radiation parameter, the Schmidt number, the magnetic parameter, and the surface temperature parameter.

Infinite Vertical Plate

An exact solution to the problem of a magnetohydrodynamic viscous, incompressible free convective flow of an electrically conducting, Newtonian non-Gray fluid past a suddenly started infinite vertical plate with ramped wall temperature in presence of appreciable radiation heat transfer and uniform transverse magnetic field is presented. The fluid is assumed to be optically thin and the magnetic Reynolds number is considered small enough to neglect the induced hydromagnetic effects. The resulting system of the equations governing the flow is solved by adopting Laplace Transform technique in closed form. Detailed computations of the influence of Hartmann number, radiation conduction parameter Q, Reynolds number Re and time t on the variations in the fluid velocity, fluid temperature, and skin friction and Nusselt number at the plate are demonstrated graphically. The results show that the imposition of the transverse magnetic field retards the fluid motion and causes the viscous drag at the plate to fall. The investigation simulates that the fluid temperature drops and the rate of heat transfer from the plate to the fluid gets increased for increasing Reynolds number.

We analyze analytically the effects of anisotropy in permeability and that of a transverse magnetic field on thermal convection in a porous medium saturated with a binary fluid and confined in a horizontal cavity. The porous medium, of great extension, is subjected to various conditions at the thermal and solutal boundaries. The axes of the permeability tensor are oriented obliquely with respect to the gravitational field. Based on a scale analysis, the velocity, temperature, and heat and mass transfer rate fields were determined. These results were validated by the study of borderline cases which are: pure porous media and pure fluid media discussed in the literature. It emerges from this study that the anisotropy parameters influence the convective flow. The application of a transverse magnetic field significantly reduces the speed of the flow and thereby affects the temperature field and the rate of heat and mass transfer.
