In the present study, the effects of radiation and chemical reaction on unsteady free convection flow and mass transfer of a viscous, electrically conducting incompressible fluid near an impulsively moving vertical flat plate with ramped wall temperature is studied. The primary purpose of this study is to characterize the effects of ramped wall temperature, radiation parameter, chemical reaction parameter, Schmidt number etc., on the flow properties. Exact solutions of the present problem are obtained in closed form by Laplace transform technique. The variations in fluid velocity, temperature and concentration are shown graphically whereas numerical values of skin friction, rate of heat and mass transfer are presented in tabular form to observe the effects of various parameters.

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
