This research purpose is to investigate the exact solutions for unsteady free convection flow between oscillating parallel plates with mass diffusion and chemical reaction. The governing equations are modelled and reduced using non-dimensional variables. The method used is Laplace transform method. Solutions for velocity, temperature, and concentration fields as well as skin friction, Nusselt and Sherwood number are obtained. For physical understanding, analytical results for velocity, temperature and concentration profile are plotted graphically with respect to the Schmidt number, Prandtl number, oscillating parameter, Grashof number, mass Grashof number and chemical reaction parameter. Increasing Prandtl number and Schmidt number decreases the concentration, velocity, temperature, and skin friction but increases the Sherwood and Nusselt numbers.

This study investigates radiation effect on unsteady oscillatory free convection between two parallel plates with mass diffusion. Appropriate non-dimensional variables are used to reduce the dimensional governing equations to dimensionless equation along with imposed initial and boundary conditions. The solutions for velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are obtained by using Laplace transform method. To illustrate the behavior of the fluid flow, graphical results are presented with influenced of Schmidt number, Prandtl number, radiation parameter, oscillating parameter, Grashof, and mass Grashof number. The corresponding expressions for skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are also calculated. It is observed that increasing radiation parameter, Prandtl, and Schmidt number will increase the Nusselt number but the skin friction will be reduced.

Free convection flow in a boundary layer region is a motion that results from the interaction of gravity with density differences within a fluid. These differences occur due to temperature or concentration gradients or due to their composition. Studies pertaining free convection flows of incompressible viscous fluids have received much attention in recent years both theoretically (exact or approximate solutions) and experimentally. The situation where the heat be transported to the convective fluid via a bounding surface having finite heat capacity is known as Newtonian heating (or conjugate convective flows). In this paper, the unsteady free convection flow of an incompressible viscous fluid between two parallel plates with Newtonian heating is studied. Appropriate non-dimensional variables are used to reduce the dimensional governing equations along with imposed initial and boundary conditions into dimensionless forms. The exact solutionsfor velocity and temperature are obtained using the Laplace transform technique. The corresponding expressions for skin friction and Nusselt number are also calculated. The graphical results are displayed to illustrate the influence of various embedded parameters such as Newtonian heating parameter and Grashof number. The results show that the effect of Newtonian heating parameter increases the Nusselt number but reduces the skin friction.

In this paper, free convection of nanofluids flow with oscillating vertical parallel plates and mass diffusion were considered. Obtained equations were converted into ordinary differential equations with appropriate transformations. Method of Laplace transform was used to find the exact solutions of velocity, temperature and concentration profiles from the dimensionless governing equations. Discussion of graph pertaining to different embedded parameters such as Prandtl number, Schmidt number, Grashof and mass Grashof number, oscillating parameter and nanoparticles volume fraction parameter was also added. Skin friction, Nusselt and Sherwood number were also discussed and deliberated.

In the present study, an unsteady two-dimensional MHD free convection flow chemical reacting fluid past a semi-infinite permeable vertical moving plate in a porous medium with Soret and Dufour effects is analyzed. The dimensionless governing equations are solved numerically by a finite element method. Computations are performed for a wide range of the governing flow parameters, viz., the thermal Grashof number, solutal Grashof number, Magnetic field parameter, Permeability parameter, Prandtl number, Heat absorption parameter, Dufour number, Schmidt number, Chemical reaction parameter and Soret number. The effects of these flow parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration are shown graphically. Finally, the effects of various parameters on the skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are shown in Tables. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jname.v8i1.6054

This work studies the steady two-dimensional MHD free convection flow past an inclined porous plate embedded in the porous medium in the presence of heat source, iSoret effect, and chemical reaction. The non-dimensional governing equations are solved by the perturbation technique. The Rosseland approximation is utilized to describe the radiative heat flux in the energy equation. The effect of magnetic parameter, heat source parameter, radiation parameter, Grashofi number, modified Grashofi number, Schmidt number, Prandtl number, porosity parameter, Soreti number, and chemical reaction on velocity, temperature, concentration profiles, skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are mainly focussed in discussion with the help of graphs. It is seen that velocity, concentration, and skin friction fall with the increasing value of chemical reaction. Further, temperature, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number increase with the increasing value of chemical reaction.

The problem of heat and mass transfer free convection flow of Casson fluid over a porous nonlinear stretching sheet in the presence of chemical reaction is investigated. Moreover the effect of magnetic field is also considered. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations by making use of suitable transformations and then solved numerically via Keller-box method. The results for skin friction are compared with previous results of the existing literature. The results are also reflected in good agreement. It is noted that concentration of Casson fluid reduces rapidly by increasing Schmidt number and chemical parameter. Also, thermal Grashof number and mass Grashof number enhance the momentum boundary layer thickness, whereas increment in chemical reaction parameter reduces the heat transfer rate. Moreover, both the fluid velocity and wall shear stress are observed to be decreased with increment in suction/blowing parameter.

In this paper, the problem of unsteady free convection flow moves along a vertical plate in a second grade fluid is studied. The vertical plate with constant temperature is considered. The dimensional governing equations are transformed into non dimensional equations using appropriate dimensionless variables and solved numerically using Finite Difference Method. Numerical results for velocity and temperature profiles are displayed graphically for viscoelastic parameter, Grashof number and Prandtl number and discussed in details. It is found that, increasing the values of Grashof number and time leads to increase in the velocity profiles. Increasing the values of the Prandtl number and viscoelastic parameter is found to decrease the velocity profile. It is further found that, increasing the values of Prandtl number tends to decrease the thermal boundary layer thickness.

In this paper, we are analyzing Soret effect and inclined magnetic field on unsteady free convection MHD flow past an impulsively started vertical plate with chemical reaction. Fluid considered is electrically conducting. The Laplace transform method has been used to find the exact solutions for the concentration, momentum and energy equations. The flow model consists of a magnetic field inclined from vertical by an angle . The flow is considered unsteady and heat is transferred through free convection. The velocity profiles are discussed with the help of graphs drawn for different parameters like thermal Grashof number, the Soret number, the Prandtl number, the chemical reaction parameter, the Hartmann number, the Schmidt number, the mass Grashof number, time and inclination of magnetic field. The numerical values of skin friction have been discussed with the help of table for different parameters.
