Unsteady MHD Casson Fluid Flow past an Accelerated Vertical Plate Through Porous Medium in Presence of Thermal Radiation
Аннотация
The present paper aims at investigating the boundary layer
flow of on an unsteady MHD free convection heat and mass
transfer flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically
conducting Cassonfluid past an infinite vertical plate
embedded in a porous medium. Casson fluid model is used to
characterize the fluid behaviour. Heat absorption parameter is
incorporated into the equation for the temperature field. The
magnetic Reynolds number is considered to be so small that
the induced magnetic field can be neglected. Exact solution of
the governing equations is obtained in closed form by Laplace
transform technique. The expressions for fluid velocity, fluid
temperatureand species concentration are displayed graphically whereas the numerical values of skin friction, the Nusselt number and the Sherwood number are presented in tabular form for various values of pertinent flow parameters. It is found that the fluid velocity and skin friction are enhanced due to Casson parameters. The fluid velocity and fluid temperature are getting reduced due to heat absorption parameter.
