Heat and Mass Transfer in Stratified MHD Flow Under an Inclined Magnetic Field

This study investigates how thermal and mass stratification influence unsteady magnetohydrodynamic fluid flow through a permeable medium over an inclined parabolic plate when a slanted magnetic field is present. Laplace transform method is used to find closedform analytical benchmark solutions for flow governing equations. The study compares the results obtained from thermal and mass stratification with scenarios where both forms of stratification are not present. Non-stratified cases demonstrate elevated velocities incomparison. Also the presence of both stratifications increases skin friction by 33.42%, the heat transfer rate by 97.54%, and the mass transfer rate by 36.91%. The biggest influence on fluid flow arises when the magnetic field is orthogonal to the flow direction. This study’s conclusions are pertinent for optimising fluid dynamics in engineering and environmental applications.
