An analysis of heat source/sink influence on MHD fluid flow past a vertically enhanced plate with radiations

Abstract

This paper explores the heat source/sink influence on irregular flow across a uniformly moving stretch sheet with of magnetic field. Flow equations are tackled with Laplace transformation technique. Tables and graphs drawn with MATLAB software show the effects of various physical parameters discovered during the numerical simulation on velocity, temperature, concentration, heat and mass transfer rate. The temperature is demonstrated to be reduced by the radiation and heat absorption parameters. Results reveal that concentration improves with enhancement of time. Furthermore, fluid velocity reduces with enhancement in viscosity. Solar energy collection systems, geophysics, astrophysics, aerospace and the design of high temperature manufacturing process systems are all examples of where the model can be used. The consistency of the model predictions is determined by comparing the findings to previously published literature. The article is unique and fills the gap in literature that the combined effects of heat source/sink with radiations and magnetism have rarely been researched.
