Radiation Effect on MHD Free Convection Heat and Mass Transfer Flow Embedded in Porous Medium

M. Jahir Jahir, A. Saha, M. Ali

Abstract


Unsteady two dimensional heats and mass transfer free convection flow about a vertical plate embedded in porous medium are investigated in presence of magnetic field with radiation effect. The considered fluid is incompressible and electrically conducting as well as viscous. To obtain non similar solutions, continuity, momentum, energy, and concentration equations have non-dimensionalized employing usual transformation. The obtained equations have solved using explicit finite difference method. The non-similar equations are depending on Grashof number, Magnetic parameter, Porosity parameter, Prandtl number, Eckert number, Radiative parameter, and Schmidt number. The effects of the mentioned physical parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are discussed and presented graphically.
