UNSTEADY HYDROMAGNETIC CONVECTIVE HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER PAST AN IMPULSIVELY STARTED INFINITE VERTICAL SURFACE WITH NEWTONIAN HEATING IN A POROUS MEDIUM

Abstract

Unsteady hydromagnetic convective heat and mass transfer flow past an impulsively started infinite vertical surface with Newtonian heating m a porous medium has been studied. The governing differential equations were transformed using suitable dimensionless parameters. The dimensionless equations were solved employing the Laplace transform techniques and results illustrated graphically for the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles. The study concluded that all the controlling parameters had effects on the flow and can be used to control the flow kinematics.
