Mathematical analysis of non-Newtonian fluid flow past an inclined plate

In this paper, we have investigated an unsteady, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD), convection flow of a double diffusive, viscoelastic fluid past an inclined permeable plate in the presence of viscous dissipation and heat absorption. A transverse magnetic field of uniform strengths is applied perpendicular to the plate along the direction of the flow. The nondimensional governing equations have been solved by using a multiple perturbation method, subject to the corresponding boundary conditions. The effects of various physical parameters on flow quantities such as velocity, temperature, and concentration are studied through graphs. The expressions for local skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are derived and discussed with the help of tables. We notice that the temperature decreases with increasing values of radiation parameter and shows reverse tendency in the case of skin friction and Nusselt number. © 2019 by Begell House, Inc.
