Ray 3 1,, 3 Mathematics Discipline, Khulna University, Bangladesh ABSTRACT: We investigate the to dimensional free convection and mass transfer flo of an incompressible, viscous and electrically conducting fluid past a continuously moving vertical flat plate in the presence of heat source, thermal diffusion, large suction and the influence of uniform magnetic field applied normal to the flo. Usual similarity transformations are introduced to solve the momentum, energy and concentration equations. To obtain the solutions of the problem, the ordinary differential equations are solved by using perturbation technique. The expressions for velocity field, temperature field, concentration field, skin friction, rate of heat and mass transfer have been obtained. The results are discussed in detailed ith the help of graphs and tables to observe the effect of different parameters. Keyords: Free convection, MHD, Mass transfer, Thermal diffusion, Heat source parameter. I. INTRODUCTION Magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) is the branch of continuum mechanics hich deals ith the flo of electrically conducting fluids in electric and magnetic fields. Many natural phenomena and engineering problems are orth being subjected to an MHD analysis. Furthermore, Magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) has attracted the attention of a large number of scholars due to its diverse applications. In engineering it finds its application in MHD pumps, MHD bearings etc. Workers likes Hossain and Mandal [1] have investigated the effects of magnetic field on natural convection flo past a vertical surface. Free convection flos are of great interest in a number of industrial applications such as fiber and granular insulation, geothermal systems etc. Buoyancy is also of importance in an environment here differences beteen land and air temperatures can give rise to complicated flo patterns. Convection in porous media has applications in geothermal energy recovery, oil extraction, thermal energy storage and flo through filtering devices. The phenomena of mass transfer are also very common in theory of stellar structure and observable effects are detectable, at least on the solar surface. The study of effects of magnetic field on free convection flo is important in liquid-metal, electrolytes and ionized gases. The thermal physics of hydro-magnetic problems ith mass transfer is of interest in poer engineering and metallurgy. The study of flos through porous media became of great interest due to its ide application in many scientific and engineering problems. Such type of flos can be observed in the movement of underground ater resources, for filtration and ater purification processes, the motion of natural gases and oil through oil reservoirs in petroleum engineering and so on. The porous medium is in fact a non-homogeneous medium. The velocity is usually so small and the flo passages are so narro that laminar flo may be assumed ithout hesitation. Rigorous analysis of the flo is not possible because the shape of the individual flo passages is so varied and so complex. Poonia and Chaudhary [] studied about the flos through porous media. Recently researchers like Alam and Rahman [3], Sharma and Singh [4] Chaudhary and Arpita [5] studied about MHD free convection heat and mass transfer in a vertical plate or sometimes oscillating plate. An analysis is performed to study the effect of thermal diffusing fluid past an infinite vertical porous plate ith Ohmic dissipation by Reddy and Rao [6]. The combined effect of viscous dissipation, Joule heating, transpiration, heat source, thermal diffusion and Hall current on the hydro-magnetic free convection and mass transfer flo of an electrically conducting, viscous, homogeneous, incompressible fluid past an infinite vertical porous plate are discussed by Singh et. al. [7]. Singh [8] has also studied the effects of mass transfer on MHD free convection flo of a viscous fluid through a vertical channel alls. An extensive contribution on heat and mass transfer flo has been made by Gebhart [9] to highlight the insight on the phenomena. Gebhart and Pera [1] studied heat and mass transfer flo under various flo situations. Therefore several authors, viz. Raptis and Soundalgekar [11], Agraal et. al. [1], Jha and Singh [13], Jha and Prasad [14] have paid attention to the study of MHD free convection and mass transfer flos. Abdusattar [15] and Soundalgekar ET. al. [16] also analyzed about MHD free convection through an infinite vertical plate. Acharya et. al.[17] have presented an analysis to study MHD effects on free convection and mass transfer flo through a porous medium ith constant auction and constant heat flux considering Eckert number as a small perturbation parameter. This is the extension of the ork of Bejan and Khair [18] under the influence of magnetic field. Singh [19] has also studied effects of mass transfer on MHD free convection flo of a viscous fluid through a vertical channel using Laplace transform technique considering symmetrical heating and cooling of channel alls. A numerical solution of unsteady free convection and mass transfer flo is presented by Alam and Rahman [] hen a viscous, incompressible fluid flos along an infinite vertical porous plate embedded in a porous medium is considered..ijmer.com 75 Page

In our present ork, the effect of large suction on MHD free convection heat and mass transfer flo past a vertical flat plate has been investigated by similarity solutions hich are obtained by employing the perturbation technique. We have used MATHMATICA to dra graph and to find the numerical results of the equation. II. THE GOVERNING EQUATIONS Consider a to dimensional steady free convection heat and mass transfer flo of an incompressible, electrically conducting and viscous fluid past an electrically non-conducting continuously moving vertical flat plate. Introducing a Cartesian co-ordinate system, x-axis is chosen along the plate in the direction of flo and y-axis normal to it. A uniform magnetic field is applied normally to the flo region. The plate is maintained at a constant temperature T and the concentration is maintained at a constant value C. The temperature of ambient flo is T and the concentration of uniform flo is C. Considering the magnetic Reynold s number to be very small, the induced magnetic field is assumed to be negligible, so that B = (, B (x), ).The equation of conservation of electric charge is. J Where J = (Jx, Jy, Jz) and the direction of propagation is assumed along y-axis so that J does not have any variation along y-axis so that the J y y y derivative of J namely resulting in J y =constant. Also the plate is electrically non-conducting J y = everyhere in the flo. Considering the Joule heating and viscous dissipation terms to negligible and that the magnetic field is not enough to cause Joule heating, the term due to electrical dissipation is neglected in the energy equation. The density is considered a linear function of temperature and species concentration so that the usual Boussinesq s approximation is taken as ρ=ρ [1-{β (T-T ) +β * (C-C )}]. Within the frame ork of delete such assumptions the equations of continuity, momentum, energy and concentration are folloing [1] Continuity equation u v (1) x y Momentum equation u v u u v g( T T ) x y y Energy equation T T K u v x y C p Concentration equation * ' B ( x) g ( C C ) u T Q( T T ) y () (3) C C C T (4) v DM D T u x y y y The boundary conditions relevant to the problem are u U, v v ( x), T T C C at y, u, v, T T C C at y, Where u and v are velocity components along x- axis and y-axis respectively, g is acceleration due to gravity, T is the temperature. K is thermal conductivity, σ is the electrical conductivity, D M is the molecular diffusivity,u is the uniform velocity, C is the concentration of species, B (x) is the uniform magnetic field, C P is the specific heat at constant pressure, Q is the constant heat source(absorption type), D T is the thermal diffusivity, C(x) is variable concentration at the plate, v (x) is the suction velocity, ρ is the density, is the kinematic viscosity, β is the volumetric coefficient of thermal expansion and β * is the volumetric coefficient of thermal expansion ith concentration and the other symbols have their usual meaning.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION To observe the physical situation of the problem under study, the velocity field, temperature field, concentration field, skin-friction, rate of heat transfer and rate of mass transfer are discussed by assigning numerical values to the parameters encountered into the corresponding equations. To be realistic, the values of Schmidt number (Sc) are chosen for hydrogen (Sc=.), helium (Sc=.3), ater-vapor (Sc=.6), ammonia (Sc=.78), carbondioxeid (Sc=.96) at 5 C and one atmosphere pressure. The values of Prandtl number (Pr) are chosen for air (Pr=.71), ammonia (Pr=.9), carbondioxied (Pr=.), ater (Pr=7.). Grashof number for heat transfer is chosen to be Gr=1., 15., -1., -15. and modified Grashof number for mass transfer Gm=15.,., -15., -.. The values Gr> and Gm> correspond to cooling of the plate hile the value Gr< and Gr< correspond to heating of the plate. The values of magnetic parameter (M=.,.5, 1.5,.), suction parameter (f =3., 5., 7., 9.), Soret number (S =.,., 4., 8.) and heat source parameter (S=., 4., 8., 1.) are chosen arbitrarily. The velocity profiles for different values of the above parameters are presented from Fig.-1 to Fig.-11. All the velocity profiles are given In Fig.-1 the velocity distributions are shon for different values of magnetic parameter M in case of cooling of the plate (Gr>). In this figure e observe that the velocity decreases ith the increases of magnetic parameter. The reverse effect is observed in the Fig.- in case of heating of the plate (Gr<). The velocity distributions are given for different values of heat source parameter S in case of cooling of the plate in the Fig.-3. From this figure e further observe that velocity decreases ith the increases of heat source parameter. The opposite phenomenon is observed in case of heating of the plate in Fig.-4. In Fig.-5 the velocity distributions are depicted for different values of suction parameter f in case of cooling of the plate. Here e see that velocity decreases ith the increases of suction parameter. The reverse effect is seen in case of heating of the plate in Fig.-6. The Fig.-7 represents the velocity distributions for different values of Schmidt number Sc in case of cooling of the plate. By this figure it is noticed that the velocity for ammonia (Sc=.78) is less than that of hydrogen (Sc=.) decreases ith the increases of Schmidt number. The reverse effect is obtained in case of heating of the plate in Fig.-8. The Fig.-9 exhibits the velocity distributions for 78 Page
.ijmer.com Vol.3, Issue.1, Jan-Feb. 13 pp-75-8 ISSN: 49-6645 different values of Soret number S in case of cooling of the plate. Through this figure e conclude that the velocity increases increasing values of Soret number. The opposite phenomenon is seen in case of heating of the plate from Fig.-1. In Fig.-11 the velocity distributions are presented for different values of M, S, Sc, Pr and f in both case of cooling and heating of the plate here S =. and U =1.. It is noted that for externally cooled plate (a) an increase in M decreases the velocity field is observed by curves (i) and (ii); (b) an increase in f decreases the velocity field observed by curves (i) and (iii); (c) an increase in S decreases the velocity field observed by curves (iii) and (iv); (d) an increase in Sc decreases the velocity field observed by curves (i) and (v); (e) an increase in Pr decreases the velocity field is seen in the curves (i) and (vi); (f) all these effects are observed in reverse order for externally heated plate. All the velocity profiles attain their peak near the surface of the plate and then decrease sloly along y-axis. i.e. far aay from the plate. It is clear that all the profiles for velocity have the maximum values at η=1. The temperature profiles are displayed from Fig.- 1 to Fig.-14 for different values of Pr, S and f We see in the Fig.-1 the temperature distributions for different values of Prandtl number Pr. In this figure e conclude that the temperature decreases ith the increases of Prandtl number. This is due to fact that there ould be a decrease of thermal boundary layer thickness ith the increase of prandtl number. In Fig.-13 displays the temperature distributions for different values of heat source parameter S. In this figure it is clear that the temperature field increases ith the increases of heat source parameter. Fig.-14 is the temperature distributions for different values of Pr, S, f for Gr=1., Gm=15., M=., S =. and Sc=.. In this figure it is obtained that an increases in Pr and S decreases the temperature field but an increases in of f increases the temperature field. The profiles for concentration are presented from Fig.-15 to Fig.-17 for different values of S, Sc and f. The Fig.-15 demonstrates the concentration distributions for different values of Soret number. It is noticed that the concentration profile increases ith the increases of Soret number. Fig.-16 gives the concentration distributions for different values of suction parameter f. We are also noticed that the effects of increasing values of f decrease the concentration profile in the flo field. In Fig.- 17 the concentration distributions are shon for different values of Sc, S and f for Gr=1., Gm=15., M=., S=. and Pr=.71. In this figure it is seen that the concentration field increases ith the increases of Schmidt number Sc. The concentration field also increases ith the increases of Soret number S. The concentration field decreases ith the increases of suction parameter f. All the concentration profiles reach to its maximum values near the surface of the vertical plate i.e. η=1 and then decrease sloly far aay the plate i.e. as η The numerical values of skin-friction (τ) at the plate due to variation in Grashof number (Gr), modified Grashof number (Gm), heat source parameter (S), Soret number (S ), magnetic parameter (M), Schmit number (Sc), suction parameter (f ), and Prandtl number (Pr) for externally cooled plate is given in Table-1. It is observed that both the presence of S and S in the fluid flo decrease.ijmer.com the skin-friction in comparison to their absence. The increase of M, Sc and f decreases the skin-friction hile an increase in Pr, Gr and Gm increase the skin-friction in the absent of S and S. Table- represents the skin-friction for heating of the plate and in this table it is clear that all the reverses phenomena of the Table-1 are happened. The numerical values of the rate of heat transfer in terms of Nusselt number (Nu) due to variation in Pandlt number (Pr), heat source parameter (S) and suction parameter (f ) is presented in the Table-3. It is clear that in the absence of heat source parameter the increase in Pr decreases the rate of heat transfer hile an increase in f increases the rate of heat transfer. In the presence of heat source parameter the increasing values of f also increases the rate of heat transfer hile an increase in Pr decreases the rate of heat transfer. It is also clear that the rate of heat transfer decreases in presence of S than the absent of S. Table-4 depicts the numerical values of the rate of mass transfer in terms of Sherood number (Sh) due to variation in Schmit number (Sc), heat source parameter (S), Soret number (S ), suction parameter (f ) and Pandlt number (Pr). An increase in Sc or Pr increases the rate of mass transfer in the presence of S and S hile an increase in f decreases the rate of mass transfer. V. FIGURES AND TABLES Fig.-1.

CONCLUSION In the present research ork, combined heat and mass transfer effects on MHD free convection flo past a flat plate is presented. The results are given graphically to illustrate the variation of velocity, temperature and concentration ith different parameters. Also the skinfriction, Nusselt number and Sherood number are presented ith numerical values for various parameters. In this study, the folloing conclusions are set out (1) In case of cooling of the plate (Gr>) the velocity decreases ith an increase of magnetic parameter, heat source parameter, suction parameter, Schmidt number and Prandtl number. On the other hand, it increases ith an increase in Soret number. () In case of heating of the plate (Gr<) the velocity increases ith an increase in magnetic parameter, heat source parameter, suction parameter, Schmidt number and Prandtl number. On the other hand, it decreases ith an increase in Soret number. (3) The temperature increase ith increase of heat source parameter and suction parameter. And for increase of Prandtl number it is vice versa. (4) The concentration increases ith an increase of Soret number and Schmidt number. Whereas it decreases ith an increase of suction parameter. (5) In case of cooling of the plate (Gr>) the increase of magnetic parameter, Schmidt number and suction parameter decreases the skin-friction. While an increase of Grashof number, Modified Grashof number and Prandtl number increases the skin-friction. In case of heating of the plate (Gr<) all the effects are in reverse order. (6) The rate of heat transfer or Nusselt number (Nu) increase ith the increase of suction parameter hile an increase in Prandtl number it decreases. It also decreases in presence of S in comparison to absence of S. An increase in Schmidt number or Prandtl number increases the rate of mass transfer (Sherood number) in the presence of heat source parameter and Soret number hile an increase in suction parameter f decreases the rate of mass transfer. We also see that both the increase in source parameter and Soret number increases the rate of mass REFERENCES [1] M. A. Hossain and A. C.
