Abstract
The unsteady MHD free convection heat and mass transfer flow of a viscous, incompressible, and electrically conducting fluid passing through a vertical plate embedded in a porous medium in the presence of chemical reactions and thermal radiation is investigated. The effects of the Hall current, rotation and Soret are studied. Using the perturbation approach, one can obtain an accurate analytical solution to the governing equations for the fluid velocity, fluid temperature, and species concentration, provided that the initial and boundary conditions are acceptable. It is possible to obtain expressions for the shear stress, rate of heat transfer, and rate of mass transfer for both plates with the ramping temperature and isothermal conditions. On the one hand, the numerical values of the primary and secondary fluid velocities, fluid temperature, and species concentration are presented graphically. On the other hand, the numerical values of the shear stress and rate of mass transfer for the plate are presented in tabular form for various values of the relevant flow parameters. These values are given for a range of pertinent flow parameters. It was determined that an increase in the Hall and Soret parameters over the whole fluid area leads to a corresponding increase in the resulting velocity. The resultant velocity continually climbs to a high level due to the contributions of the thermal and solute buoyancy forces. Lowering the heat source parameter reduces the temperature distribution, resulting in a lower overall temperature. When there is a rise in the chemical reaction parameter over the whole fluid area, there is a corresponding decrease in the concentration. The concentration buoyancy force, Hall current, and Prandtl number reduce the skin friction. On the other hand, the permeability of the porous medium, rotation, chemical reaction, the Soret number, thermal buoyancy force, and mass diffusion all have the opposite effects on the skin friction.
