Unsteady Boundary Layer Flow of Magneto-Hydrodynamic Couple Stress Fluid over a Vertical Plate with Chemical Reaction

摘要

The unsteady two-dimensional natural convective magneto-hydrodynamic non-Newtonian couple stress fluid flow over a vertical plate with homogenous first-order chemical reaction effect is addressed in this article. The thermodynamic study is executed in the presence of momentum, heat and mass transfer coefficients with chemical reaction. The highly nonlinear, coupled, time-dependent non-Newtonian fluid flow equations are simplified by using numerically stable Crank-Nicolson iteration method. For various flow parameter values, graphs are drawn and analysed. A related thermodynamic study with available numerical results is made.
