RADIATION EFFECTS ON AN UNSTEADY MHD VERTICAL POROUS PLATE IN THE PRESENCE OF HOMOGENEOUS CHEMICAL REACTION

ABSTRACT The objective of this paper is to study the on an unsteady MHD flow, radiation and mass transfer of a viscous incompressible conducting fluid past on impulsively started infinite vertical porous plate with variable temperature in the presence of homogeneous chemical reaction is studied. The governing equations are solved by using the finite element method. The expression for velocity, temperature and concentration has been obtained. Some important applications of physical interest for different type motion of the plate are discussed. The results obtained have also been presented numerically through graphs to observe the effects of various parameters and the physical aspects of the problem
