Effects of Heat Source on MHD flow of an Elasto–vis–cous Fluid through a Porous Medium in Presence of Chemical Reaction

N . Senapati, R. K. Dhal, K. Ray

Abstract :

The magnetic effect on unsteady free convective hydrodynamic elasto–viscous fluid past an infinite vertical plate through porous medium in the presence of heat source and chemical reaction is studied while consideing mass transfer .The dimensionless governing equations are solved in closed form by Laplace–transform technique. The results are obtained for velocity, temperature and concentration for different parameters like phase angle, chemical reaction parameter, Schmidt number, time and magnetic number. The flow characteristics are presented by graphs.
