• RADIATION AND CHEMICAL REACTION EFFECTS ON MHD FLOW FLUID OVER AN INFINITE VERTICAL OSCILLATING POROUS PLATE

Abstract

An analysis is carried out to study the nonlinear MHD flow with heat and mass transfer characteristics of an incompressible, viscous, electrically conducting and Boussinesq fluid over a vertical oscillating porous permeable plate in presence of homogeneous chemical reaction of first order and thermal radiation effects. The problem is solved numerically using the perturbation technique for the velocity, the temperature, and the concentration field. The expression for the skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are obtained. The effects of various thermo-physical parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration as well as the skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number has been computed numerically and discussed qualitatively.
