Radiation and Chemical Reaction Effects on MHD Flow of Viscoelastic Fluid with Mass Transfer

Department of Mathematics, Anurag University, Hyderabad

​

Abstract

 

This paper is focused on the effects of radiation, heat and mass transfer on a unsteady free convective viscoelastic fluid flow of  incompressible, electrically conducting and chemically reacting fluid past an impulsively started moving vertical plate adjacent to Darcian porous regime in the presence of heat generation. The dimensionless governing equations are solved using perturbation technique. A parametric study is performed to illustrate the influence of thermophysical parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are presented graphically.

 

Keywords -: Free convection, Mass transfer, MHD, Porous medium, Viscoelastic fluid
