Abstract
Abstract
An analysis was carried out for an unsteady magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) flow of a generalized third grade fluid between two parallel plates. The fluid flow is a result of the plate oscillating, moving and pressure gradient. Three flow problems were investigated, namely: Couette, Poiseuille and Couette-Poiseuille flows and a number of nonlinear partial differential equations were obtained which were solved using the He-Laplace method. Expressions for the velocity field, temperature and concentration fields were given for each case and finally, effects of physical parameters on the fluid motion, temperature and concentration were plotted and discussed. It is found that an increase in the thermal radiation parameter increases the temperature of the fluid and hence reduces the viscosity of the fluid while the concentration of the fluid reduces as the chemical reaction parameter increases.
