AN UNSTEADY MHD FLOW OF CASSON FLUID PAST AN EXPONENTIALLY ACCELERATED VERTICAL PLATE

Abstract

An unsteady, magnetohydrodynamic, incompressible, radiative Casson fluid flow past an infinite vertical permeable plate, which is accelerated exponentially, in presence of heat sink parameter and first-order chemical reaction taking account of Soret effect, is considered. Governing equations are solved for the profiles of velocity, temperature and concentration with the help of Laplace transform. The effects of various physical parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are discussed with the help of graphs.
