Dufour and thermal diffusion effects on time-dependent natural MHD convective transport over an inclined porous plate

Abstract

In this research article, we examined the influences of thermal diffusion and Dufour on time-dependent free MHD convective transport flow through an inclined permeable plate numerically. The dimensionless ordinary differential equations are found from the dimensional governing non-linear partial differential equations through the use of similarity transformation. The transformed dimensionless ordinary differential equations are resolved by employing the finite difference method in the Shooting technique through MATLAB software. The numerical outcomes have been presented for the impact of several non-dimensional numbers or parameters to explore the fluid flow, and heat and mass transfer features. The fluid velocity diminishes for mounting amounts of the inclined angle. The values of f′(0) go up by about 75 % due to rising values of the inclined angle from 150 to 600. With other previously released research studies, a comparison has been performed. The present research reveals good agreement with the published study.
