• UNSTEADY HYDROMAGNETIC FLOW OF VISCO-ELASTIC FLUIDS IN A POROUS MEDIUM WITH HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER

Abstract

In this paper, we have discussed the radiative heat and mass transfer on the unsteady hydromagnetic convective flow of a conducting visco-elastic fluid over an inclined plate embedded in a porous medium. The impulsively started plate with variable temperature and mass diffusion is considered .The analytical expressions for the velocity, temperature and species concentration fields have been obtained. The corresponding expressions for the non-dimensional rates of heat transfer and mass transfer have been obtained. The velocity profile and the shearing stress have been illustrated graphically, for various values of flow parameters involved in the solution to observe the effect of visco-elastic parameter.
