Abstract:
The present investigation aims to find an exact solution to the problem of a free convective, viscous, radiating, chemically reacting, optically thick, non-gray, and incompressible MHD flow past an exponentially accelerated semi-infinite vertical plate in presence of a transverse magnetic field. The medium of flow is porous. Arbitrary ramped temperature and diffusion thermo effects are also considered. Rosseland approximation method is used to describe the flux that appears in the energy equation. The effects of different parameters on flow and transport characteristics are discussed with the help of suitable graphs. It is noticed that velocity field and concentration field decreases but temperature field increases with an upsurge in Schmidt number. Also, Nusselt number and skin friction rise with increasing chemical reaction parameter but lowers with increasing radiation parameter. Faster consumption of chemical substances decelerates both concentration and velocity but accelerates temperature of the fluid. An interesting outcome outcome of our investigation is that both Dufour effect and arbitrary ramped temperature diminishes fluid velocity.
