Hall Effects On Mhd Convective Flow Through Porous Medium Past An Infinite Vertical Plate With Soret Effect And Dissipation

Abstract

We have studied the combined effects of MHD mixed convective two-dimensional flow of an incompressible and electrically conducting viscous fluid through porous medium past an infinite vertical plate taking Soret, Joules dissipations and Hall effects into account. The non-dimensional equations are then solved analytically using perturbation technique. With the help of graphs, the effects of the various non-dimensional parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration distributions within the boundary layer are examined. Also the effects of the pertinent parameters on the skin-friction coefficient and rates of heat and mass transfer in terms of the Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are computationally discussed.
