Abstract
This paper examined the hydromagnetic boundary layer flow of viscoelastic fluid with heat and mass transfer in a vertical channel with rotation and Hall current. A constant suction and injection is applied to the plates. A strong magnetic field is applied in the direction normal to the plates. The entire system rotates with uniform angular velocity (Ω), about the axis perpendicular to the plates. The governing equations are solved by perturbation technique to obtain an analytical result for velocity, temperature, concentration distributions and results are presented graphically for various values of viscoelastic parameter (K2), Prandtl number (Pr), Schmidt number (Sc), radiation parameter (R), heat generation parameter (Qh) and Hall parameter (m).
Highlights
Hydromagnetic convection with heat transfer in a rotating medium has important applications in geophysics, nuclear power reactors and in underground water and energy storage system
A comprehensive discussion of Hall current is given by Cowling [1], Soundalgekar [2], Soundalgekar and Uplekar [3]
Effects of Hall current on free convective flow past on accelerated vertical plate in a rotating system with heat source/sink is analyzed by Singh and Garg [6]
Summary
Hydromagnetic convection with heat transfer in a rotating medium has important applications in geophysics, nuclear power reactors and in underground water and energy storage system. When the strength of the magnetic field is strong, one cannot neglect the effects of Hall currents. A comprehensive discussion of Hall current is given by Cowling [1], Soundalgekar [2], Soundalgekar and Uplekar [3]. Hossain and Rashid [4] analyzed Hall effect of MHD free convective flow along porous plate with mass transfer. Attia [5] studied Hall current on the velocity and temperature fields on unsteady Hartmann flow. Effects of Hall current on free convective flow past on accelerated vertical plate in a rotating system with heat source/sink is analyzed by Singh and Garg [6]. Saha et al [7] studied Hall current effect on MHD natural convection from a vertical plate.
