Radiation Effects on Unsteady Mhd Convective Flow of An Incompressible Viscous Fluid Via an Impulsively Initiated Vertical Plate through Porous Medium

Abstract

The present study is to analysis the effects of Radiation on unsteady MHD flow in an impulsively begun vertical plate with variable heat and mass transfer through a partially packed porous medium. The plate's temperature is designed to increase linearly over time. The fluid in question is gray, non-scattering, and absorbs and emits radiation. The non-dimensional governing equations of the problem have been solved analytically by Laplace-transform method. The effects of various governing parameters on the flow variables are discussed quantitatively with the help of graphs for the flow field. The values of skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are determined and computationally discussed.
