Simultaneous effects of thermal and concentration diffusions in unsteady magnetohydrodynamic free convection flow past a moving plate maintained at constant heat flux and embedded in a viscous fluid saturated porous medium is presented. The transport model employed includes the effects of thermal radiation, heat sink, Soret and chemical reaction. The fluid is considered as a gray absorbing-emitting but non-scattering medium and the Rosseland approximation in the energy equations is used to describe the radiative heat flux for optically thick fluid. The dimensionless coupled linear partial differential equations are solved by using Laplace transform technique. Numerical results for the velocity, temperature, concentration as well as the skin friction coefficient and the rates of heat and mass transfer are shown graphically for different values of physical parameters involved.
The aim of this paper is to analyze the effect of Hall current on unsteady MHD free convection flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid past an oscillating vertical plate with convective boundary condition. The fluid flow is due to both the oscillation and
the convective heating of the plate. The resulting governing equations are nondimensionalized and solved analytically using the Laplace transform technique. Numerical results for axial and transverse velocities and temperature as well as the skin-friction coefficient and Nusselt number are
shown graphically for various values of pertinent flow parameters.
