Heat and Mass Transfer Over an Accelerating Surface with Heat Source in Presence of Magnetic Field
Abstract
The steady incompressible viscoelastic fluid flowing over an accelerating flat plate in the presence of a magnetic field has been studied. The following surface with prescribed plate temperature. The results are expressed in terms of Kummer's function. A solution for the velocity, temperature and concentration distribution flow is obtained. It is found that the velocities at any horizontal plane parallel to the plate in the fluid decrease as the constant magnetic field M, the variable suction parameter R and the viscoelastic parameter K increase individually keeping the other parameters constants. Numerical calculations have been carried out for various values of prandtl number pr, suction parameter R, temperature parameter r and Schmidt number Sc (for H 2, H2 O, NH 3 and C O 2) which are the most common diffusing species with respect to air and illustrated graphically for the problem considered.
