• STUDY OF DUFOUR EFFECT ON UNSTEADY FREE CONVECTION MHD FLOW PAST AN IMPULSIVELY STARTED MOVING VERTICAL PLATE WITH VARIABLE TEMPERATURE AND CONSTANT MASS DIFFUSION IN AN INCLINED MAGNETIC FIELD

Abstract

Study of Dufour effect on unsteady free convection MHD flow past an impulsively started moving vertical plate with variable temperature and constant mass diffusion in an inclined magnetic field is studied here. Fluid Considered is electrically conducting. The Laplace transform technique has been used to find the solutions for the velocity profile. The results obtained are discussed with the help of graphs drawn for different parameters like thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number, Prandtl number, the Hartmann number, Schmidt number, Dufour number, time and inclination of magnetic field. The numerical values of Skin-friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number have been tabulated.
