Rita Choudhury, Hillol Kanti Bhattacharjee . MHD Unsteady Free Convective Visco-Elastic Fluid Flow over a Radiative Vertical Porous Plate with Dufour Effects in Presence of Chemical Reaction. International Journal of Computer Applications. 81, 2 ( November 2013), 19-25. DOI=10.5120/13985-1995
Abstract
The analysis on the unsteady two-dimensional incompressible visco-elastic MHD free convective fluid flow over a radiative vertical porous plate with Dufour effects in presence of chemical reaction has been presented. A uniform magnetic field acts perpendicular to the porous surface. The Rosseland approximation has been used to describe the radiative heat flux in energy equation and the influence of various flow parameters involved in the solution are described both numerically and physically to understand the physics of the problem. It is observed that the flow field is considerably affected by the visco-elastic parameter in comparison with Newtonian phenomena in presence of other physical variables. Possible applications of the present study include MHD propulsion thermo fluid dynamics, boundary layer in aerodynamics, chemical engineering etc.
