COMBINED HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER EFFECTS ON MHD FREE CONVECTION FLOW PAST AN OSCILLATING PLATE EMBEDDED IN POROUS MEDIUM

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to study the MHD flow past an infinite vertical oscillating plate through porous medium, taking account of the presence of free convection and mass transfer. The governing equations are solved in closed form by Laplace-transform technique. The results are obtained for velocity, temperature, concentration, Nusselt number and skin-friction. The effects of various material parameters are discussed on flow variables and presented by graphs.
