Steady MHD Free Convection and Mass Transfer Flow with Thermal Diffusion, Hall and Ion Slip Currents and Large Suction

Abstract

The present study is concerned with the study of steady MHD free convection and mass transfer flow past an impulsively started infinite vertical porous plate with thermal diffusion when a strong magnetic field of uniform strength is applied transversely to the direction of flow. The Hall and ion slip currents are taken into account. The effects of rotation on the flow are also considered. Similarity transformations are used to transform the governing partial differential equations into a system of ordinary differential equations. The ordinary differential equations are then solved by perturbation technique based on large suction. The velocity and temperature profiles are shown graphically and results are discussed in terms of Hall parameter f3, ion slip parameter Di and other established parameters.
