MagnetoHydroDynamic Steady Free Convective Flow and Mass Transfer in a Rotating Elastico-Viscous Fluid past an Infinite Vertical Porous Flat Plate with Constant Suction

摘要

This paper investigates the free convective flow and mass transfer of a rotating elastico-viscous fluid past an infinite vertical porous flat plate with constant suction in presence of a transverse magnetic field assuming the temperature and species concentration at the free stream to be constant. A Cartesian coordinate system rotating uniformly with the fluid is chosen. The analytic expressions for velocity, temperature and concentration of the flow field are obtained and the effects of the pertinent parameters such as elastic parameters(α_1,α_2), magnetic parameter (M), rotation parameter (R), Grashof number for heat and mass transfer(G_r,G_c), Prandtl number (P_r) and Schmidt number (S_c) on the primary and secondary velocity profiles and also on the temperature and concentration distribution of the flow field are studied and discussed with the help of figures. The problem is significantly relevant to geophysical, cosmical and engineering applications.
