Unsteady Hydromagnetic Heat and Mass Transfer Flow of a Heat Radiating and Chemically Reactive Fluid Past a Flat Porous Plate with Ramped Wall Temperature

Abstract EN

Unsteady hydromagnetic free convective flow of a viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting, andheat radiating fluid past a flat plate with ramped wall temperature and suction/blowing is studied.

Thegoverning equations are first subjected to Laplace transformation and then inverted numerically usingINVLAP routine of Matlab.

The numerical solutions of the fluid properties arepresented graphically while the skin friction and heat and mass transfercoefficients are presented in tabular form.

The results are verified by a careful comparisonwith results in the literature for certain parameter values.
