Abstract

Unsteady MHD Couette flows in a vertical porous channel with effect of thermal radiation and variable temperature have been studied. The governing equations at first were transformed by usual transformation non-dimensional form. The numerical solutions for time dependent velocity, temperature and special concentration are obtained by the implicit finite difference method. The computed values of fluid velocity, temperature and concentrations are analyzed for different flow parameters such as thermal Grashof number Gr, modify Grashof number Gm, Prandtl number Pr, thermal radiation parameter R and Schmidt number Sc. The effect of these parameters depicting physical situation of the flow profile is expressed with the aid of line graphs. Significant results from this study showed that the velocity, temperature and concentration increases with increase in thermal radiation, magnetic field parameters and time, and decreases with the effect of Prandtl number, Schmidt number at increasing values.
