Numerical analysis of heat and mass transfer over an oscillating vertical plate with heat and mass flux in the Boundary

Abstract

This thesis contains five chapters. The aim of the thesis is to analyse numerically heat and mass transfer with MHD, thermal radiation, and chemical reaction over an oscillating vertical plate with heat and mass flux in the boundary. newlineThe first chapter provides the preface of the subject, its development, applications, and several physical features involved in the study of unsteady two-dimensional hydromagnetic fluid flow over an oscillating semi-infinite vertical plate with radiation and chemical reaction along with consistent heat and mass flux in the boundary. The governing equations of motion with relevant boundary conditions and physical parameters involved in the thesis are presented here. newlineIn Chapter 2, the viscous incompressible hydromagnetic Newtonian fluid flow over an oscillating vertical plate with radiation and first-order chemical reaction along with consistent heat flux and mass flux in the boundary is inspected. The hydrodynamic profiles, the temperature profiles, and the concentration profiles are extended graphically for dissimilar values of physical parameters such as phase angles, thermal Grashof number (Grt), mass Grashof number (Grm), Magnetic field parameter, radiation parameter, and chemical reaction parameter. The numerical values of the average Skin-friction for various phase angles, the average Nusselt number for various radiation parameters and the average Sherwood number for various chemical reaction parameters are showcased in table. newlineIn Chapter 3, a numerical study of the free convection boundary-layer incompressible unsteady fluid flow over a semi-infinite oscillating vertical plate with periodic heat flux and consistent mass flux in the occurrence of radiation, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and chemical reaction is presented here. newline
