Article Info ABSTRACT
The present study concentrates an attempt to
study an unsteady convective heat and mass transfer
of a flow of a viscous electrically conducting fluid
through a porous medium confined in a vertical
channel bounded by flat walls in the presence of heat
generating sources, by taking into account Radiation
effect. An oscillatory pressure gradient in the x-
direction is considered in the flow region. A
perturbation method is employed to solve the
equations governing the flow heat and mass transfer
has been solved to obtain the expression for velocity,
temperature and concentration. The skin frictions, the
rate of heat and mass transfer have been evaluated for
different variations of the governing parameters.

1. INTRODUCTION:
The application of electromagnetic fields in controlling the heat transfer as in
aerodynamic heating leads to the study of magneto hydrodynamics heat transfer this
MHD heat transfer has gained significance owing to advancement of space technology.
The MHD heat transfer can be divided into two sections. One contains problems in
which the heating is an incidental by product of the electromagnetic fields as in the
MHD generators and pumps etc., and the second contains of problems in which the
primary use of electromagnetic fields is to control the heat transfer [1]. With the fuel
crisis depending all over the world there is great concern to utilize the enormous power
beneath the earth’s crust in the geothermal region. Hence the study of interaction of the
geomagnetic field with the fluid in the geothermal region is of great interest, thus
leading to interest in the study of Magneto hydrodynamic convection flows through
porous medium. The effects of system temperature on heat and mass transfer
investigated, by Atul kumar Singh et al [2] heat and mass transfer in MHD flow of a
viscous fluid past a vertical plate under oscillatory suction velocity. Convection fluid
flows generated by traveling thermal waves have also received attention due to
applications in physical problems.
Coupled heat and mass transfer driven by buoyancy due to temperature and
concentration variation in a saturated porous medium has several important
applications in geothermal and geophysical engineering such as the migration of
moisture through the air contained in fibrous insulation, the extraction of geothermal
energy, underground disposal of nuclear wastes and the spreading of chemical
contaminants through eater saturated soul.
A systematic derivation of the governing equations with various types of
approximations used in applications has been presented. Heat and mass transfer by

free convection in a porous medium under boundary layer approximations has been
studied by Bejan and Khair [3], Lai and Kulacki [4], Nakayama and Hossain [5] and
Singh and Queeny [6].
Angirasa et al [7] have presented the analysis for combined heat and mass transfer
by natural convection for aiding and opposing buoyancies in fluid saturated porous
enclosures. Tanamy Basak et al[8] have analysed the natural convection flows in a
square cavity filled with a porous matrix for uniformly and non-uniformly heated
bottom wall and adiabatic top wall maintaining crust temperature of cold vertical walls
Darcy-Forchheimer model is used to simulate the momentum transfer in porous
medium.
The unsteadyness in the fluid can also be generated by imposing an oscillatory
flux in the fluid region. Several authors notably, Roslinda Nazar et al [9], Shohel
mahmud and Pop[10], Nawaf et al [11] discussed the mixed convective heat and mass
transfer flow through a porous medium in different channels and different
configurations.
In view of this several authors, Lai F.C. [12,13] ,Angirasa et al [14] Abdul [15]
have studied Natural convection in differentially heated vertical enclosures is of
fundamental interest to many practical applications. Several investigators have
presented analytical and experimental results on convection in the rectangular cavity
with vertical walls at constant temperatures, the horizontal walls being insulated
[16,13]. Reviewed the extensive work and mentioned about [13] who have contributed
to the forced convection with heat generating source. AbdEl – Naby et al [17] studied
the effects of radiation on unsteady free convective flow past a semi-infinite vertical
plate with variable surface temperature using Crank – Nicolson finite difference
method. Chamkha et al. [18] analyzed the effects of radiation on free convection flow
past a semi-infinite vertical plate with mass transfer, by taking into account the
buoyancy ratio parameter N.Ganesan and Loganadhan [19] studied the radiation and
mass transfer effects flow of incompressible viscous fluid past a moving vertical
cylinder using Rosseland approximation by the Crank – Nicolson finite difference
method. Takhar et al. [20] considered the effects of radiation on MHD free convection
flow of a radiating gas past a semi-infinite vertical plate.
2. Formulation of the problem.
We analyze the unsteady flow of an incompressible, viscous, electrically conducting
fluid through a porous medium confined in a vertical channel. A uniform transverse

magnetic field of strength Ho is applied normal to the walls of the channel. The
unsteadiness in the flow is due to an oscillatory pressure gradient. The walls are
maintained at constant temperature. The Boussinesq approximation is used so that the
density variation will be retained only in the buoyancy force. The viscous dissipation is
neglected in comparison to the heat flow by conduction and convection. We choose a
Cartesian co-ordinate system O(x,y,z) with x-axis in the vertical direction and the walls
are taken at Ly ,2L being the mean distance between the plates .A linear density
variation is assumed with e, Te as the equilibrium density and temperature .The
equations governing the unsteady MHD flow ,heat and mass transfer in Cartesian
coordinate system in the absence of input electric field are

4. Discussion of the Numerical results
The velocity, temperature and concentration have been discussed for variations
in different parameters governing the flow. The applied pressure gradient is chosen to
be negative so that the actual flow is yield along x-direction. In this analysis we choose
the non-dimensional temperature and convection ratios have been chosen to be -1. The
Grashof number ‘G’ is positive or negative according as the boundary temperature T, is

From Fig.1 we notice that for G>103 the velocity changes from positive to
negative as we move from the right boundary to the left boundary in the neighborhood
of y = -1, there by indicating the reversal flow in the region -0.8 y -0.4. This region of
reversal flow shrinks in its size in the horizontal direction and enhances in the
transverse direction. In case of G < 0 the reversal flow appear in the region -0.6 y
-0.8 for |G| = 103 and for higher |G| 2 x 103 it confines to the region 0.4 y 0.8.
Also the magnitude of u enhances with G> 0 and depreciates with G< 0 with maximum
at y = 0.8 and this maximum value enhances with increase in |G|.
The variation of u with D-1 and M reveals that the reversal flow which appears in
the vicinity of y = -1 shrinks in its size with increase in D-1 or M. Also lesser the
permeability of porous medium or higher the Lorentz force smaller the magnitude of u
in the entire flow region Fig .2
Fig.3 represents the behavior of u with respect to buoyancy ratio ‘N’. It is found
that when the molecular buoyancy force dominates over the thermal buoyancy force,
the magnitude of u depreciates when the buoyancy forces act in the same direction and
for the forces acting in opposite direction |u| enhances in the flow region.
From Fig.4 we find that the reversal flow which appears in the region -0.8 y -
0.2 for R=10 reduces in its size with increase in R. Also |u| depreciates with increase in
R.
It is noticed that Fig.5 shows the An increase in the wormsely number results in a
depreciation of |u|.
It is found that the magnitude of u experiences an depreciation in the left half and
enhances in the right half of the channel. An increase in the strength of heat generating
source reduces the magnitude of the axial velocity u Fig.6.
The temperature distribution is shown in Figs 7 – 9. For different values of R,
,N and .It is found that actual temperature is greater than the equilibrium temperature
in the left half and T is less than Te in the right half. An increase in the Reynolds number
‘R’ Fig.7
Fig.8 shows the leads to depreciation in the actual temperature in the left half and
enhances in the right half. The behavior of ‘’ with respect to shows that the actual

temperature experiences the depreciation in the left half and an enhancement in the
right half with increase in .
Also, the actual temperature reduces in the left half and enhances in the right half of
the channel with increase in the strength of the heat generating sources Fig.9.
An increase in the radiation parameter N reduces the actual temperature in the left
half and enhances in the right half Fig.10.
The Non dimensional concentration distribution C is shown in Figures. 11 & 12 For
different values of Sc and . It is to be noted that the concentration C is positive or
negative according as the actual concentration C is greater or lesser than the
equilibrium concentration. It is found from Fig.11.
Fig.12 show the higher the molecular diffusivity lesser the actual concentration in
the left half and higher the concentration in the right half of the channel. The variation
of C with shows that for smaller values of the concentration is positive in the left half
and negative in the right half. And for higher it is positive in the vicinity of y = -1 and
negative in the region -0.6 y - 0.2 and positive in the region 0.2 y 0.6. It is found
that higher the values of lesser the actual concentration in the vicinity of y = -1 and
higher the concentration in the remaining portion of the channel region.
The shear stress at the boundaries y = 1 have been calculated for different
values of G, D-1, M, R, Sc, and are shown in Tables. 1 – 8. It is found that the shear
stress at both the boundaries enhances with increasing |G|. The variation of ‘’ with D-1
& M reveals that lesser the permeability of the porous medium or higher the Lorentz
force larger the magnitude of ‘’.The behavior of ‘’ with Schmidt number ‘Sc’. Shows
that higher the molecular diffusivity larger at y = +1 and smaller at y = -1 .Tables 1 &
2.
The molecular buoyancy force dominates over thermal buoyancy force, the
stress experiences an enhancement at y = +1and depreciates at y= -1, when the
buoyancy forces act in the same direction and for the forces acting in opposite
directions decreases at y = +1 and enhances at y = -1. Also | depreciates with
increase in the Wormsely number .Tables 3&4.
From tables. 5 and 6 we find that for values of R 20, at y = 1 experiences
an enhancement and for higher R30 the stress depreciates at both the wall.
The stress experiences a enhancement in its magnitude at y=1and a
depreciation at y=-1 with increase in the radiation parameter N .Tables.7&8.

The rate of heat transfer at y = 1 is shown in Tables. 9 & 10 for different, R &
. It is found that the rate of heat transfer at y = + 1 is positive and is negative at y = -
1.An increase in or R leads to an enhancement in |Nu| at both the walls. At y = 1 the
“Nusselt number” enhances with increase in 4 and depreciates with 6,while at y =
-1 it depreciates with . An increase in the radiation parameter N enhances the
magnitude of Nu at both the walls. Tables.11 & 12.
The Sherwood number which measures the rate of mass transfer across the
boundaries has been depicted in Tables.13&14. for different Sc & .
Table.15 shows the Higher the molecular diffusivity larger the rate of heat
transfer at y = 1 Also |Sh| experiences an enhancement with increase in the
‘Wormsely number . In general we observe that the rate of heat and mass transfer at y
= -1is greater than that at y =1
