The present paper is concerned to analyze the influence of the unsteady free convection flow of a viscous incompressible fluid through a porous medium with high porosity bounded by a vertical infinite moving plate in the presence of thermal radiation, heat generation, and chemical reaction. The fluid is considered to be gray, absorbing, and emitting but nonscattering medium, and Rosseland approximation is considered to describe the radiative heat flux in the energy equation. The dimensionless governing equations for this investigation are solved analytically using perturbation technique. The effects of various governing parameters on the velocity, temperature, concentration, skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are shown in figures and tables and analyzed in detail.

The effect of the chemical reaction and radiation absorption on the unsteady free convective flow of an incompressible viscous fluid through porous medium past a semi-infinite vertical permeable moving plate is studied. The system is stressed by a uniform transverse magnetic field. The system equations are derived for the flow over a vertical plate and the resulting nonlinear coupled differential equations are solved numerically by finite difference technique. Also, the case of the flow over a horizontal plate was studied analytically by using the perturbation technique. A comparison between the case of vertical and horizontal flow was illustrated graphically to access the accuracy of our numerical calculations, and the results show an excellent agreement. The effects of various parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are presented graphically and the physical aspects of the problem are highlighted and discussed.

The present paper is concerned to analyze the effect of hall current on heat and thermal radiation and mass transfer of unsteady MHD flow of a viscoelastic micropolar fluid through a porous medium with chemical reaction. The governing partial differential equations are transformed to dimensionless equations using dimensionless variables. The dimensionless governing equations are then solved analytically using perturbation technique. The effects of various governing parameters on the velocity, temperature, concentration, skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are shown in figures and tables and analyzed in detail.

The effect of chemical reaction on unsteady magentohydrodynamic (MHD) free convection flow in a porous medium past an infinite inclined plate has been investigated. Laplace transform technique is the method to solve the solutions for velocity, temperature and concentration fields. The analytical expressions for non-dimensional skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number has been presented. The influence of various embedded parameter on velocity, temperature and concentration such as chemical reaction parameter, magnetic field and radiation has been discussed in detail. The effects of involved parameters have been discussed and the numerical results are presented graphically.

In the present study, an unsteady two-dimensional MHD free convection flow chemical reacting fluid past a semi-infinite permeable vertical moving plate in a porous medium with Soret and Dufour effects is analyzed. The dimensionless governing equations are solved numerically by a finite element method. Computations are performed for a wide range of the governing flow parameters, viz., the thermal Grashof number, solutal Grashof number, Magnetic field parameter, Permeability parameter, Prandtl number, Heat absorption parameter, Dufour number, Schmidt number, Chemical reaction parameter and Soret number. The effects of these flow parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration are shown graphically. Finally, the effects of various parameters on the skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are shown in Tables. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jname.v8i1.6054
