Chemically reactive species and radiation effects on MHD convective flow past a moving vertical cylinder

The numerical solution of transient natural convection flow of radiation effects on MHD heat and mass transfer past a moving vertical cylinder with chemical reaction is presented. The governing boundary layer equations for the above flow problem of first-order homogeneous chemical reaction are setup and non-dimensionalized. An implicit finite difference method is used to solve the unsteady, non-linear, and coupled governing equations. Numerical results are presented for various parameters. The unsteady velocity, temperature, concentration profiles, local and average skin-friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are shown graphically and are discussed for both generative and destructive reaction.
