MHD free convection and mass transfer flow past a flat plate

Abstract EN

Two dimensional free convection and mass transfer flow of an incompressible, viscous and electrically conducting fluid past a continuously moving infinite vertical porous plate in the presence of heat source, thermal diffusion, large suction and under the influence of uniform magnetic field applied normal to the flow is studied.

Usual similarity transformations are introduced to solve the momentum, energy and concentration equations.

To obtain local similarity solutions of the problem, the similarity equations are solved using perturbation technique.

The expressions for velocity field, temperature distribution, concentration field, drag coefficient, rate of heat, and mass transfer have been obtained.

The results are discussed in detailed with the help of graphs and tables to observe the effect of various parameters.
