• EFFECT OF THERMO-DIFFUSION AND CHEMICAL REACTION ON CONVECTIVE HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER FLOW OF WALTER’S MEMORY FLUID OVER A VERTICAL PLATE

Abstract

In this paper an attempt has been made to study the effect of chemical reaction and radiation absorption on unsteady hydromagnetic free convective heat and mass transfer flow of an incompressible electrically conducting memory fluid past an infinite vertical plate in the presence of heat sink. The non-linear, coupled equations governing the flow, heat and mass transfer have been solved by a perturbation technique. The velocity, temperature, concentration and the rate of heat and mass transfer have been analyzed for different parametric variations.
