Abstract

Exact expressions of velocity, temperature and mass concentration have been calculated for free convective flow of fractional MHD viscous fluid over an oscillating plate. Expressions of velocity have been obtained both for sine and cosine oscillations of plate. Corresponding fractional differential equations have been solved by using Laplace transform and inverse Laplace transform. The expression of temperature and mass concentration have been presented in the form of Fox-H function and in the form of general Wright function, respectively and velocity is presented in the form of integral solutions using Generalized function. Some limiting cases of fluid and fractional parameters have been discussed to retrieve some solutions present in literature. The influence of thermal radiation, mass diffusion and fractional parameters on fluid flow has been analyzed through graphical illustrations.

Summary

Introduction

A great deal of efforts have been put to study the phenomena of mass transfer and radiative heat flux in free convective flows because of its applications in many industrial and chemical processes. The following study is undertaken to investigate the thermal radiation and diffusion effects on a free convective MHD fractional fluid flow over a vertical oscillating plate. To find uc(y, t) = L−1{uc(y, q)}, which is velocity of the fluid corresponding to cosine oscillations of the plate, we apply Laplace inverse transform to Eq (28) and using Appendix (47), (48), (49) and we obtain analytic expression of velocity field uc(y, t) = f cos(ωt) + f
