This paper analytically studies the thermal radiation and chemical reaction effect on unsteady MHD convection through a porous medium bounded by an infinite vertical plate. The fluid considered here is a gray, absorbing-emitting but nonscattering medium, and the Rosseland approximation is used to describe the radiative heat flux in the energy equation. The dimensionless governing equations are solved using Laplace transform technique. The resulting velocity, temperature and concentration profiles as well as the skin-friction, rate of heat, and mass transfer are shown graphically for different values of physical parameters involved.

An exact solution to the problem of flow past an exponentially accelerated infinite vertical plate with variable temperature is analyzed. The temperature of the plate is raised linearly with time t. The dimensionless governing equations are solved using Laplace-transform technique. The velocity and temperature profiles are studied for different physical parameters like thermal Grashof number Gr, time and an accelerating parameter a. It is observed that the velocity increases with increasing values of a or Gr.

The effect of the thermal radiation on the MHD Casson fluid along with the fractional derivative in an oscillating vertical plate is elucidated. More exactly, the Caputo fractional model is utilized in developing the governing equations. Besides, the influence of the buoyancy force due to the temperature gradient has also been considered. The derived fractional partial differential equations are converted into ordinary differential equations by using the Laplace transform technique and then are solved for analytical solutions via the characteristic method. The inversion of the Laplace transformation is obtained through the numerical approach of Zakian. The effects of various physical parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles, Nusselt number, and skin friction have been analyzed and depicted in graphs and tables. The distribution of the velocity and temperature either in viscous or Casson fluid do enhance by the fractional parameter.

This paper deals with the study of the thermal radiation and chemical reaction effects on an unsteady MHD free convective mass transfer flow past an accelerated infinite vertical plate embedded in a porous medium. The Rosseland approximation is used to describe the radiative heat flux in the energy equation. The dimensionless governing equations of motion are solved by using Laplace transform technique in closed form. Expressions for the velocity, temperature and concentration are obtained. The resulting velocity and temperature profiles as well as the skin-friction, rate of heat and mass transfer are shown graphically for different values of the physical parameters viz., Grashof number, Prandtl number, Schmidt number, Chemical reaction parameter, Radiation parameter, Magnetic parameter and Porosity parameter.

An exact solution of unsteady flow past an exponentially accelerated infinite vertical plate with variable temperature has been presented in the presence of uniform mass diffusion. The plate temperature is raised linearly with time and species concentration level near the plate is made to rise Cw. The dimensionless governing equations are solved using Laplace-transform technique. The velocity profiles fields are studied for different physical parameters like thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number, Schmidt number, a and time. It is observed that the velocity increases with increasing values of a or t.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the effects of binary chemical reaction and activation energy on nano Casson liquid flow past a stretched plate with non-linear radiative heat, and also, the effect of a novel exponential space-dependent heat source (ESHS) aspect along with thermal-dependent heat source (THS) effect in the analysis of heat transfer in nanofluid. Comparative analysis is carried out between the flows with linear radiative heat process and non-linear radiative heat process.Design/methodology/approachA similarity transformation technique is utilised to access the ODEs from the governed PDEs. The manipulation of subsequent non-linear equations is carried out by a well-known numerical approach called Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg scheme. Obtained solutions are briefly discussed with the help of graphical and tabular illustrations.FindingsThe effects of various physical parameters on temperature, nanoparticles volume fraction and velocity fields within the boundary layer are discussed for two different flow situations, namely, flow with linear radiative heat and flow with non-linear radiative heat. It is found that an irregular heat source/sink (ESHS and THS) and non-linear solar radiation play a vital role in the enhancement of the temperature distributions.Originality/valueThe problem is relatively original to study the effects of activation energy and binary chemical reaction along with a novel exponential space-based heat source on laminar boundary flow past a stretched plate in the presence of non-linear Rosseland radiative heat.

The present paper is on study of the influence of radiation on unsteady free convection flow of Brinkman type fluid near a vertical plate containing a ramped temperature profile. Using the appropriate variables, the basic governing equations are reduced to nondimensional equations valid with the imposed initial and boundary conditions. The exact solutions are obtained by using Laplace transform technique. The influence of radiation near a ramped temperature plate is also compared with the flow near a plate with constant temperature. The numerical computations are carried out for various values of the physical parameters such as velocity, temperature, skin friction and Nusselt number and presented graphically.

This work is focused on the numerical solution of unsteady double-diffusive free convective flow along a vertical isothermal cylinder in the presence of a transverse magnetic field, first-order homogeneous chemical reaction, thermal radiation and Soret and Dufour effects. The Rosseland approximation is used to describe the radiative heat flux in the energy equation. The governing equations are formulated and a numerical solution is obtained by using an explicit finite-difference scheme. The solutions at each time step have been found to reach the steady state solution properly. Representative results for the fluid velocity, temperature and solute concentration profiles as well as the local heat and mass transfer rates for various values of the physical parameters are displayed in both graphical and tabular forms.
