• EFFECTS OF ROTATION AND MAGNETIC FIELD ON THE FLOW PAST AN EXPONENTIALLY ACCELERATED VERTICAL PLATE WITH CONSTANT TEMPERATURE

Abstract

In the present paper, we study the effects of rotation on unsteady flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid past an exponentially accelerated vertical plate with constant temperature in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field. Let the fluid motion is induced due to the movement of the plate. The problem is solved analytically in closed forms by Laplace transform technique and the expressions for velocity, temperature and skin-friction have been obtained. The numerical results for velocity and temperature are presented graphically for different values of the parameters like magnetic parameter, thermal Grashof number, Prandtl number, rotation parameter, accelerating parameter and time. The numerical values of the skin-friction have been tabulated.
