Free convective and radiating flow confined between vertical parallel MHD plates with heat transfer and uniform inclined magnetic field

Abstract

The objective of this article is to investigate on the natural convective MHD flow of viscous fluid with assessment of mass and heat transfer effects. The flow is confined by two parallel plates. The walls of plates are assumed to be porous. The thermal radiation effects and inclined magnetic field applications are endorsed. One plate maintains the adiabatic phenomenon. The simplified form of problem is achieved with help of dimensionless variables. The analytical outcomes for given formulated problem are obtained with help of perturbation technique. Effects of various flow parameters involving to the problem are graphically impacted. It is claimed that velocity profile enhances due to modified Grashof number. An enhancement in heat transfer is subject to increasing the radiation parameter. Moreover, concentration profile reduces due to Reynolds number.
