Free Convective Mhd Boundary Layer Flows B. Rushi Kumar

In this work an attempt is made to study the effects of heat and mass transfer on MHD free convective viscous incompressible electircally conducting fluid boundary layer flows past a vertical plate. In chapter 1 the effects of radiation absorption and chemical reaction on unsteady MHD free convective flow through porous medium is studied. In chapter 2 the effect of magnetic field and radiation on unsteady MHD flow in the presence of thermal diffusion. In chapter 3 thermal diffusion on unsteady heat and mass transfer flow with variable temperature and mass diffusion is studied. In chapter 4 the effects of heat source, radiation absorption on heat and mass transfer flow past a linearly accelerated vertical plate in the presence of first order chemical reaction is studied. In chapter 5 the effects of chemical reaction and radiation on hydrodynamic flow discussed in two cases (i) and (ii) for both magnetic and non-magnetic cases. In all above chapters the solution for velocity, temperature and concentration fields are obtained using Laplace transform technique and an exact solutions are derived in terms of exponential and complementary error functions.
