Influence of Hall Current and Thermal Radiation on MHD Convective Heat and Mass Transfer in a Rotating Porous Channel with Chemical Reaction

Abstract EN

A theoretical study is carried out to obtain an analytic solution of heat and mass transfer in a vertical porous channel with rotation and Hall current.

A constant suction and injection is applied to the two insulating porous plates.

A strong magnetic field is applied in the transverse direction.

The entire system rotates with uniform angular velocity Ω about the axis normal to the plates.

The governing equations are solved by perturbation technique to obtain the analytical results for velocity, temperature, and concentration fields and shear stresses.

The steady and unsteady resultant velocities along with the phase differences for various values of physical parameters are discussed in detail.

The effects of rotation, buoyancy force, magnetic field, thermal radiation, and heat generation parameters on resultant velocity, temperature, and concentration fields are analyzed.
