Radiation-absorption, chemical reaction, Hall and ion slip impacts on magnetohydrodynamic free convective flow over semi-infinite moving absorbent surface

Abstract

The investigation of radiation-absorption, chemical reaction, Hall and ion-slip impacts on unsteady MHD free convective laminar flow of an incompressible viscous, electrically conducting and heat generation/absorbing fluid enclosed with a semi-infinite porous plate within a rotating frame has been premeditated. The plate is assumed to be moving with a constant velocity in the direction of fluid movement. A uniform transverse magnetic field is applied at right angles to the porous surface, which is absorbing the fluid with a suction velocity changing with time. The non-dimensional governing equations for present investigation are solved analytically making use of two term harmonic and non-harmonic functions. The graphical results of velocity, temperature and concentration distributions on the analytical solutions are displayed and discussed with reference to pertinent parameters. It is found that the velocity profiles decreased with an increasing in Hartmann number, rotation parameter, the Schmidt number, heat source parameter, while it increased due to an increase in permeability parameter, radiation-absorption parameter, Hall and ion slip parameters. However, the temperature profile is an increasing function of radiation- absorption parameter, whereas an increase in chemical reaction parameter, the Schmidt number Sc or frequency of oscillations decrease the temperature profile on cooling. Also, it is found that the concentration profile is decreased with an escalating in the Schmidt number or the chemical reaction parameter.
