Integral transform of MHD flow with heat and mass transfer of a biofluid in a parallel plate channel (original) (raw)

2019, Brazilian Journal of Development

The pulsed transient flow through a Darcy-Forchheimer porous channel of a biofluid influenced by an external magnetic field applied transversely to the channel with chemical reaction was studied. In the formulation, the two-dimensional, incompressible, electrically conductive laminar flow through a porous medium into a channel formed between parallel flat plates with wall transpiration was considered. The velocity, concentration, and temperature fields were solved using the Generalized Integral Transform Technique (GITT) and convergence analysis of the series expansions was performed, obtaining satisfactory convergences with few terms in the summation. The obtained solutions were compared with Brazilian Journal of Development Braz.

The influence of Reynolds number, Prandtl number, Schmidt number and magnetic...
