Abstract

The study of heat and mass transfer on nonlinear hydromagnetic flow is of great practical importance to engineers because of its almost niversal occurrence in many branches of science and engineering and hence a large amount of research work has been reported in this field. In particular, the study of heat and mass transfer with heat source and thermal stratification is of considerable importance in chemical and hydrometallurgical industries and this work deals with a problem of such study. Steady flow of an incompressible, viscous, electrically conducting and Boussinesq fluid over an accelerating vertical plate with heat source and thermal stratification effect is considered in the presence of an uniform transverse magnetic field. The problem is considered to be of MHD laminar boundary layer type. The similarity transformation has been utilized to convert the governing partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations and then the numerical solution of the problem is drawn using R.K.Gill method. The velocity, temperature and concentration of the fluid are shown graphically to observe the effects of parameters entering the problem. Finally a sufficient discussion of different results is presented.
