MASS TRANSFER AND FREE CONVECTIVE MHD FLOW
THROUGH POROUS MEDIUM
D. Sarkar (India) and S. Mukherjee (India)
|
Abstract: The effect of variable
suction/injection on the unsteady two-dimensional free convective flow with mass
transfer of an electrically conducting fluid past a vertical accelerated plate embedded in porous
medium in presence of a transverse magnetic field is considered. Solutions of
the equation governing the flow are obtained with the help of power series. The
behavior of velocity distribution, temperature distribution and concentration
distribution is discussed for different parameters. It is observed that velocity
decreases as magnetic parameter increases. |
Keywords and phrases: mass transfer, free concentration, MHD flow, porous medium. |
