Abstract
The unsteady MHD free convection flow near an exponentially accelerated infinite vertical plate through porous medium with uniform heat flux in the presence of thermal radiation has been considered. The mathematical model, under the usual Boussinesq approximation, was reduced to a system of coupled linear partial differential equations for velocity and temperature. Exact solutions are obtained by the Laplace transform method. The influence of pertinent parameters such as the radiation parameter, Grashof number, Prandtl number, and time on velocity, temperature, and skin friction is shown by graphs.
Highlights
The study of natural convection heat transfer from a vertical plate has received much attention in the literature due to its industrial and technological applications
In the last two decades, problems of natural convection and heat transfer flows through porous media under the influence of a magnetic field have attracted the attention of a number of researchers
The free convection MHD flow with thermal radiation from an exponentially accelerated vertical infinite plate in the presence of porous media with uniform heat flux has not received the attention of any researcher
Summary
The study of natural convection heat transfer from a vertical plate has received much attention in the literature due to its industrial and technological applications. The unsteady MHD free convection flow near an exponentially accelerated infinite vertical plate through porous medium with uniform heat flux in the presence of thermal radiation has been considered. Free convection effects on flow past an exponentially accelerated vertical plate were studied by Singh and Kumar [3].
