Thermal Diffusion and Hall Effects on MHD Flow Past an Impulsively Started Inclined Plate with Variable Temperature and Mass Diffusion in The Presence of Thermal Radiation

Abstract

The effects of thermal diffusion and Hall current on unsteady magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) flow past an impulsively started inclined plate with variable temperature and mass diffusion in the presence of radiation under the influence of uniform magnetic field applied normal to the flow has been carried out. The fluid is considered a gray, absorbing-emitting radiation but a non-scattering porous medium. The governing equations of the flow for this investigation are solved numerically by the Ritz finite element method. The results obtained are discussed with the help of graphs drawn for different flow parameters like thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number, Prandtl number, Schmidt number, radiation parameter, magnetic parameter, Hall parameter, thermal diffusion parameter and angle of inclination. The numerical data for shearing stresses, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are presented in tables and then discussed.

“…The non-linear momentum, energy and concentration equations given in equations ( 17), ( 18) and ( 19), are solved under the appropriate initial and boundary conditions (20) by the implicit finite difference method [20]. The transport equations ( 17), ( 18) and ( 19) at the grid point (i, j) are expressed in differences form using Taylor's expansion…”
