NATURAL CONVECTION IN MHD TRANSIENT FLOW PAST AN ACCELERATED VERTICAL PLATE WITH HEAT SINK

摘要

The problem of an MHD heat and mass transfer flow past an accelerated infinite vertical plate in a porous medium in presence of chemical reaction, thermal diffusion and first order heat sink is studied. A magnetic field of uniform strength is assumed to be applied normal to the field directed to the fluid region. The resulting system of equations governing the fluid motion is solved by adopting Laplace Transform technique in closed form. The effects of the physical parameters involved in the problem on the flow and the transport characteristics are studied graphs.
