Magneto-Convective Fluid Flow past an Exponentially Accelerated Vertical Porous Plate in the Presence of Thermal Diffusion

Abstract

A theoretical analysis is performed to analyze the characteristics of an unsteady free convective, radiative, chemically reactive, viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid past an exponentially accelerated vertical porous plate in the presence of heat source and Soret effects. The set of non-dimensional governing equations along with boundary conditions are solved numerically by applying finite difference method. The effect of various physical parameters on flow quantities are studied with the help of graphs. For the physical interest, the variations in skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are also studied through tables. The novelty of this study is the consideration of exponentially varying temperature as well as concentration along with the exponentially accelerated vertical plate..
