Thermal and Mass Stratification Effects on Unsteady MHD Parabolic Flow Past an Infinite Vertical Plate with Variable Temperature and Mass Diffusion Through Porous Medium

Keywords: MHD flow, Vertical plate, Parabolic flow, Electrically conducting fluid, Unsteady flow, Stratified fluid, Porous medium

Abstract

This study examines how thermal and mass stratification affect unsteady MHD parabolic flow past an infinite vertical plate through porous medium with variable heat and mass diffusion. Analytical solutions are derived for unitary Prandtl and Schmidt numbers using Laplace transform technique to simulate the the flow's physical process. The investigation takes into account how the flow field is impacted by thermal and mass stratification. Following that, the outcomes of the stratification case are then comapared with the scenario in which the flow field has no stratification. The finding of this study can help us comprehend more about the unsteady MHD parabolic flow and provide insightful information for stratified systems.
