• RADIATION EFFECT ON MHD FLOW THROUGH POROUS MEDIA PAST AN IMPULSIVELY STARTED VERTICAL PLATE WITH VARIABLE HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER

Abstract

Radiation effects on MHD flow through porous media past an impulsively started vertical plate with variable heat and mass transfer is studied here. The fluid considered is gray, absorbing-emitting radiation but a non-scattering medium. The governing equations involved in the present analysis are solved by the Laplace-transform technique. The velocity and skin friction are studied for different parameters like radiation parameter, Schmidt number, Thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number, magnetic field parameter, Prandtl number and permeability parameter.
