MHD Heat and Mass Transfer Flow of a Viscoelastic Fluid Past an Impulsively Started Infinite Vertical Plate with Chemical reaction

Abstract

The objective of the present study, we discuss the heat and mass transfer on MHD unsteady visco-elastic second order Rivlin-Erickson fluid past an impulsively started infinite vertical plate in the presence of a foreign mass and constant mass flux on taking into account of viscous dissipative heat at the plate under the influence of a uniform transverse magnetic field in the presence of chemical reaction. The flow is governed by a coupled non-linear system of partial differential equations. These equations are solved by using perturbation technique. The velocity, temperature, concentration, skin - friction and the rate of heat transfer are derived. The results are graphically discussed for various values of physical parameters
